DOH! Another Homer Simpson moment…solved! Voila! Now, every time I mistype that word it's automatically changed to what it should be. Then click the add sign (+), type in your typo, tab over to the replace column, and type in the way it SHOULD be typed. A little box opens that says text replacement. Click that, then click Show Substitutions. In the pop up menu when you right click a misspelling, you will see Substitutions. (One of the offending words is why-oh-you-are) spelled phonetically for you since now my spell checker won't let me spell it wrong! My dyslexic fingers type out either why-oh-are-you or why-are-oh-you.)

The native dictionaries in iOS, which have been around since 2011, let you define words on your iPhone on the fly in Safari, News, Notes, and other apps. He suggested going into Finder, holding the alt key (OPTION key), click on the GO menu and choose the Library folder. His number 2) option did get me closer to a solution. I did not have that option although I looked everywhere. the number 1) did not work for me where he suggested switching to the TEXT EDIT proggie (found in Launchpad), type the word, right click it and select Unlearn Spelling. I clicked on the link you suggested and here's how it went. Again, you have stepped up to the plate and helped me solve my problem.
