I was going to ask how to delete the things I have saved by mistake. There must be a text file somewhere, but no amount of googling and grepping has enabled me to find it.
What backend do you use in kmail? If it aspell there should be .aspell.LANG files in your home.
Thanks, Nick.
I have just changed to Aspell, so for now all is fine and dandy and all the spellings are pristine - until I next make a mistake! But no .aspell still. That and equivalent were what I first looked for. I could find no remotely relevant dotted files.
I am bound to make mistakes. I need to solve this by then! But until then, all is great. And this should be correctly spell-checked. ;-)
Still no .aspell visible in Konqueror, even when I made dotted files visible. But:

I have removed the "th". That's what is going on with nano.
There you are, Gene. Use Aspell and you will be home and dry. "pws" is presumably "personal word list". Most of those words were there befor e today, so I must have been using it for something. LOWriter perhaps? But I only changed KMail to it at 15:35.
I'm using ispell, and the pws stuff seems to be working, except ispell calls it something else. It appears that it updates the main file as the date is today, about the correct GMT time when I added your name: gene@coyote:~$ ls -al|grep .ispell -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 920 Oct 10 07:37 .ispell_american -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 278 Oct 24 20:31 .ispell_american-huge <this one -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 616 Oct 13 21:58 .ispell_default
But all 3 are quite small, so it must source another master file. I'd have to assume so as theres a whole passel of ispell stuff in /var/lib.
It works as me, of course. I did check. It is, after all, a mad world. I went into root in order to use locate.
Thank you so much Nick. I shall go and dance a jig.
While I'm happy, I'm not dancing, I came down with a sore throat about 3 hours back. So I'm using Halls lozenges like they are M & M's.
