Default How to edit a wrong spelling suggestion if right-clicking a word?

I mistakenly added Winnepesauke to my dictionary when the correct spelling is
Winnepesaukee. I have fixed the dictionary by deleting the one with the wrong
word and reinstalling the dictionary from the program CD. However, if I
mispell the word as Winnepesaukii and get the red squiggle underline,
right-clicking on the word still offers Winnepesauke as a suggested spelling.
How do I edit the list of suggested spellings?

Adding this misspelling to my dictionary is one click I really regret. You
can add whatever you want to the dictionary, and you can struggle to get the
words out, but I can't see any way to correct the suggested incorrect
spelling that comes up with a right-click on a mispelled word.

I have added auto-correction for Winnepesauke to change it to Winnepesaukee,
but really, why can't I edit the spelling suggestions? A copy of your reply
to would be appreciated.
