You can tell LyX to record the words that will be recognized as correct 
by "Add to personal dictionary" . These are saved as text files in the 
personal folder with a name e.g. pwl_english.dict.

If you want to use a new dictionary with .dic and .aff files, rather 
than the default dictionary files, you should place those files to 
\resources\dicts\ folder of LyX.
