The screen is trying to match the letter/number combinations to words in the dictionary. You can safely disregard the red underlines when looking at your example. But when you see it in text such as email and messages, it's a good idea to check the spelling of anything underlined in red. See my examples below:


  • Every is spelled correctly here.
  • There are missspellings in thiis example.
