How Do I Reset An Incorrect Word On A Spell Checker?

In error I have entered a misspelled word as correct so now every time I misspell the same word the spell checker doesn't pick it up. How do I reset this word so it is once again recognised as incorrect?

This problem is common to both the spell-checker here on Yahoo! Answers & the optionally installed (English) dictionary on my Firefox browser.

    Search for *.dic which I know is the case for MS Office. I assume that any dictionary you use will be found somewhere on your hard drive. Otherwise, if it is stored as a cookie, you should probably clear history and cookies.
