A misspelling that spells a new word may be a homonym or homophone. A homonym is a word the same as another in sound and spelling but different in meaning; i.e.: left (the opposite of right) and left (to leave behind). Also stalk (part of a plant) and stalk (to follow someone around). A homophone is pronounced the same but has different meaning; i.e.: rose (flower) and rose (to rise up). Also too (also) and two (2). If you were typing, and it was underlined it was probably a grammar error. It could be a new word that is not listed in the program dictrionary. It could be a name that doesn't have a caps on the first letter or it isn't in the dictionary, but if it is not on the computer and on the dictionary than your dictionary might not be new and the word may be new. I think they call it a typo (typographical error).
