But computers and other electronic devices can accept them as correct. If they are not in the dictionary, then the frequency of usage and number of users qualifies it to be a dictionary word. |

Nonsense. Any word that is not misspelt is a new word. Who cares if it's not the dictionary. Do you think it's only the English people who have the exclusive right to create new words? I beg to differ. Cross-carpetting is correct in so far as it's not coined from an already existing word. |
