I'm not sure if this is a Mac issue or all computers. When I type answers into the flashcard answer box, old answers that begin with the same letters automatically come up. Is there any way to get rid of these? It's a small thing, but an annoyance. And sometimes, if I'm not watching carefully, the computer accepts by default some of these old answers if I don't catch it. Ex: Using the answer "Open-ended" from my Personal Finance flash cards when what I wanted was "Open" for Astronomy, and marking it wrong.
Thanks in advance!

Isn't it a browser thing? Firefox, you just hit the backspace, for example. Tools> Clear Private Data... to clear all of them (and everything else, careful).

I went to Safari->Preferences->Auto-Fill->Other Forms->Edit, and deleted all.
It seemed to work for Flash cards. (No more Massachusetts when I meant to answer Mass.) I just hope I haven't erased a bunch of important stuff that I need on other websites!
