How do I remove a miss-spelled word from my “personal dictionary”?

I added a miss-spelled word to my “personal dictionary” before I realized it was miss-spelled. I tried to find the dictionary file on my computer hoping I could open it and remove the miss-spelled word, but a search didn't show it. I don't know what the file is named or where it is located. I just need to get the miss-spelled word removed. Is there some way to remove the miss-spelled word and leave the rest of my personal dictionary in tact?
