These can be rare or field-specific words may be not recognized by our proofreading engine and reported as a mistake. All the words added to a personal dictionary will not be considered as misspelling, and they will also be available on the suggestions list. By default, all the words added to the personal user dictionary are stored in the browser local storage on the user side.
