Comment 2 for bug 1318812

This behaviour has changed a bit since this bug was first reported. Words no longer get added to the dictionary automatically, they only get added if the user explicitly selects their word from the word ribbon. Personally I think the system settings approach is the best option, as removing words directly from the word ribbon could be problematic; since the user would only be able to delete words they'd added themselves and not words from the system dictionary (although we could potentially add a personal 'words to ignore' list or something), distinguishing the two could be difficult.

The only other thing I can think of that might need additional consideration for the system settings design is that currently we store a separate user dictionary for each language (so if you add a word to the Danish dictionary it won't get suggested when you're typing in English). So I think we'd either need to change the keyboard behaviour to have one global custom dictionary or have a way of selecting the language that you're editing the custom words for.

Could the "Custom words" page perhaps just live under the "Language & Text" menu?
