This behaviour has changed a bit since this bug was first reported.
Words no longer get added to the dictionary automatically, they only get
added if the user explicitly selects their word from the word ribbon.
Personally I think the system settings approach is the best option, as
removing words directly from the word ribbon could be problematic; since
the user would only be able to delete words they'd added themselves and
not words from the system dictionary (although we could potentially add
a personal 'words to ignore' list or something), distinguishing the two
could be difficult.

The only other thing I can think of that might need additional
consideration for the system settings design is that currently we store
a separate user dictionary for each language (so if you add a word to
the Danish dictionary it won't get suggested when you're typing in
English). So I think we'd either need to change the keyboard behaviour
to have one global custom dictionary or have a way of selecting the
language that you're editing the custom words for.

Could the "Custom words" page perhaps just live under the "Language &
Text" menu?

  [osk] no way to remove user added dictionary words

Bug description:
  when spell checking is enabled, any word the user types that is not recognized gets added to the user dictionary (I think).
  The problem is once a word gets added there is no way to delete it and it always shows up on the word ribbon, whether you want it or not.

  We should be more selective when adding words (i.e. if you type
  asdafadfadsfadsfadsfadsf that gets added). We can address that in
  another bug. For this bug, I think we need to provide the user with a
  way to remove words they added to the dictionary.

  One idea: press and hold the word on the word ribbon would produce an
  "x" button which when pressed would remove the word from the
  dictionary. This would be consistent with how users close apps, delete
  bookmarks, etc.
