I steal the first sentence from Reblochon Masque’s answer:

You have the correct idea, but it needed to be fine tuned:

second_word = (k[0][1] for k, v  in d if word == k[0][0])

Iterating directly over d generates the keys only (which are what you are interested in, so this was the right idea).

Now, for k, v in d actually works, not because you get the key and the value, but because the key is a tuple and you unpack the two items in the tuple to the names k and v.

So k already is the first word and v is the second word, and you don’t need to use any indexing like [0][0] or [0][1].

Using different names makes it clearer:

word = 'I'
second_words = (second for first, second in d if first == word)

Note that now second_words is a generator expression and not a list. If you simply go on iterating over second_words this is fine, but if you actually want the list, change the generator expression to a list comprehension by replacing the () by [].

Sometimes when you work on a word processing document in Microsoft Word, you will type a word that the program doesn’t recognize, so a red line will appear under words that are actually spelled correctly. Understand how to add a word to the dictionary in Microsoft Word so it will recognize the correct word and stop trying to correct it. Moreover, learn how to take advantage of the custom dictionaries in MS Word so spell check doesn’t confuse your special terms between the different types of writing you do in the program.

1

Determine what type of word you want to add to your dictionary. Decide if it is one that will apply to all your writing, such as your name, or if it is special jargon specific to a type of writing you do, like the name of a particular scientist or story character?
2
Open the custom dictionary settings for MS Word.
- In Word 2003 for Windows or 2004 for Mac, go to the «Tools» menu, select «Spelling and Grammar�», and click «Options�».
- In Word 2007 or 2010 for Windows, click the File menu button> select options then click «Proofing.»
- In Word 2008 or 2011 for Mac, go to the «Word» menu, select «Preferences,» and click «Authoring and Proofing Tools.» Choose the «Spelling and Grammar» option.

3

Make sure there isn’t a check in the «Suggest from main dictionary only» check box.
4
Find the drop-down menu to select your custom dictionary.
- If the word to be added will apply to special writing projects, select the default, «Custom Dictionary,» if it isn’t already selected.
- If the word to be added is specific to a certain type of writing you do (for example, technical documents written for work or stories set in a particular fantasy world), click the «Dictionaries�» button if you don’t already have a dictionary slotted for that purpose in the drop-down menu.
- Find the «New�» button in the «Custom Dictionaries» dialog box that pops up.
- Pick a location on your computer to save the custom dictionary.
- Make sure that new custom dictionary has a check mark beside it to indicate that it’s active.
- Make sure the correct custom dictionary is selected as default dictionary.
5

Click «OK.» and Close the «Custom Dictionaries» dialog box.
6

Close the «Spelling and Grammar» dialog box if it’s open.
7

Highlight the word you want to add to your selected custom dictionary.

Customizing dictionaries for different types of writing has a twofold benefit. First, it reduces the risk that you’ll create too large a custom dictionary. If a custom dictionary file gets too large, MS Office can no longer add to it. Second, changing your custom dictionary between your different writing types avoids situations where spell check sees «raine» in your essay and assumes it’s correct, because you have a character in your story with that name.
When running spell check with your overall «Custom Dictionary» dictionary, hit «Ignore all» for any terms that are to be checked by your specialized dictionary, and vice versa. That will prevent term overlap when you customize your MS Word dictionary.
