1. Cross carpeting (use defect instead)

2 Englight( use enlighten instead)

3.Awardees(use Award winners instead)

4. Screen touch(use touch screen instead)

5.sponsorer ( use sponsor instead)

Commonly used words such as cross carpeting,englight,awardees,screen touch and sponsorer do not exist in standard English dictionaries.Therefore, words such as defect, enlighten, award winners,touch screen and sponsor are suitable words to be used in that regard.
