Dictation spells Acupuncture wrong. How do I fix this?

Dictation spells Acupuncture wrong. How do I fix this. It uses two c's (Accupuncture) and then capitalizes it. This has never been the correct spelling and why is it capitalized??!?

When a word is unexpectedly Capitalized, it may be reflecting a Proper Noun that has been added to your personal dictionary.


Select the errant word, right-click and "unlearn spelling"
