Title: Firefox 2.0 dictionary
Post by: scottws on Sunday, February 04, 2007, 02:05:36 PM: How do I edit Firefox's dictionary? I accidentally added "definately" to it, and it's a common spelling mistake I make.

Yeah I always spelled it "wierd" because of that "I before E except after C" thingy, but I guess "weird" is just weird.

English is a strange language.
