Hi everyone....
I don't know exactly which dictionary is followed by my laptop windows. When i type anything here, a red underline appears if a word is spelled wrongly and then i check the word and most often right click and replace the word. I guess this correction is followed by Oxford dictionary.
Well, when i type "mylot". the red line appear under it as its a wrong word. It seems awkward to me and does bother. So, do you think that the word "mylot" should be included to Oxford or the dictionary regarding our computers follow?
Thanks in advance.

You may also be having an issue because "my" and "lot" are both correct words that could follow each other in a sentence. Think about "my lot in life." Mylot could seem like two words missing a space. You should look up help for whatever web browser you are using to add the word to your custom dictionary. I use Opera and it's easy to add words to the dictionary.

Since we Indians follow British English you must have set your computer to that making it your default language.Windows and Microsoft follow American English which is their default language.Therefore whenever you type anything then it must be showing the red line which indicates that the spelling is not American but British. For eg 'programme' is British whereas 'program' is American,similarly 'centre ' is British and 'center' is American.

Hi shibham,
The spellchecker in our browser is responsible for it. But you can add them anytime you want.
As for me if there are any words with those red underlines and I'm sure that it's a word but not those that can be found in the dictionary I just let it have a red line

Oxford English is only teached in England and in some countries like ours.
Other English speaking countries are not using Oxford English they even use different words for the same thing. Also a language is changing/alive and modern language (street/spoken language) is different from what we learn (and Oxford English).
This besides of the dialects who are probably there too, just like in our country.
I don't think Oxford English will be usefull at mylot.
