Apparently I mistakenly added a bad word to the custom spelling dictionary.
- How can I remove the bad word?
- Where is this dictionary stored? I'd hope for it to be in a text file I could edit directly.

As shown here, you can edit your dictionaries in advanced options menu:
Edit -> Preferences... -> Advanced -> Open Option Inspector -> Formatting Options -> Text Content Options -> Spelling Dictionaries
Or you can set SpellingDictionaries option programmatically with SetOptions[] command, as shown in this answer.
Something like this should work:
file = Import["words.txt","List"]
SetOptions[$FrontEndSession, SpellingDictionaries -> {"CorrectWords" -> file}]
P.S. Replace \$FrontEndSession with \$FrontEnd for a permanent global setting.

$\begingroup$ While the link you offer does not discuss removing words, the menu path you suggest does work. The interface is slow and awkward, so I would like programmatic access. I suppose I should be able to deduce this from the menu path, but I did not. Can you add this to your answer? $\endgroup$– AlanCommented Oct 12, 2016 at 15:31
FileNames[FileNameJoin[{$UserBaseDirectory, "Autoload", "SystemFiles", "SpellingDictionaries"}]]? $\endgroup$
