How do I use my personal dictionary?

With Grammarly’s personal dictionary feature, you can make sure that unique words in your lexicon won’t be flagged as misspelled. 

If you’d like to stop flagging a particular spelling as incorrect, you can add the word to your personal dictionary by clicking Add to dictionary on the suggestion card:

To manage your personal dictionary, sign in to your account, go to Account Writing, and select Your dictionary

To add a word, enter it in the corresponding field in the Your dictionary menu and click Assign.

To remove a word from your personal dictionary, hover over the word that you want to remove and click on the trash bin can icon that will appear next to it:

Keep in mind that only words containing English language letters, hyphens, and some other symbols can be added to your personal dictionary. The maximum word length is 100 symbols.

Note: The words with special symbols such as !, ?, +, $, &, or / and several words separated by space cannot be added to your personal dictionary.

Once you add a particular word to your personal dictionary, it will not be flagged in other Grammarly product offerings.

Note: Admins of team plans can activate or deactivate personal dictionary for all members of their plan on the Feature access page. If you are a member of a team plan and you cannot access the Your dictionary page, it means this option has been turned off by an admin.
