Public bug reported:

When word suggestions and auto-complete are turned on, there is no way
to disable word candidates for a particular word you want to type that
might not be in the list.

For example: I want to type "Hello my friend how are you?"

When typing I get to: "Hello my friend" and the word candidate shows
"friends" and no candidate for "friend". Pressing the spacebar causes
"friends" to be inserted and there is no way to prevent this. Happens
with a lot of other words as well as our word suggestions are not always
what you'd want/expect.

I think we should have a small "x" button on the far right of the word
ribbon that when pressed will clear the word candidates for the current
words, which would allow the user to essentially disable the feature
just for the current word.
