I'm now having second thoughts about the System Settings design. It does
make explicit the entire contents of your user dictionary, but it's
fairly unlikely that someone will stop in the middle of their typing,
and go to the trouble of diving deep into System Settings just to remove
a word. And if they don't stop in the middle of their typing, it's even
less likely that they'll remember to do it sometime later.

I wonder if we could achieve the same effect by making the UI
essentially invisible. A word should be added to the user dictionary if
you type it and refuse correction enough times; maybe it can be removed
from the user dictionary if it is suggested or auto-completed and you
undo it enough times.

  [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.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LanguageAndText#Custom_words>: "The 'Custom
  words' screen itself should list all custom words alphabetically, with
  a delete button alongside each."
