Delete a word from the dictionary?

See original GitHub issue

When using glide typing, if I try gliding the word the I constantly get thr. Now, I’ll admit that my gliding probably stopped short of the e and ended up on the r so it isn’t wrong necessarily, but I don’t think thr is even a word so there will never be a scenario where I’m intending to type thr. I’ve had a couple other cases where my attempt at gliding a word comes up with some random letters that I wouldn’t have thought was a word at all. Of course, in every scenario, if I was more precise with my gliding it would’ve picked the correct word, so this isn’t a defect by any means. I’m just wondering if there’s any way for me to delete words from the dictionary that I will never use.

This, of course, can be a privacy concern. One way around this privacy issue is to only keep track of the use of common words (and of course to never sync any such data with a cloud server).

One neat thing is that Patrick – the dev of FlorisBoard – is dedicated to not introduce any internet-permissions. Additionally, I can remember discussions about how we could preserve user privacy, but at the moment I can’t remember where they took place.

I’m quite busy, but I have a reasonable amount of experience (and formal education) in this area, so feel free to pick my brain. I’ll do my best to lend a hand (even though auto-suggest may recommend that I’m willing to lend a band).

Thank you for your willingness to bend a land, let’s see what Patrick will do! 😃
