Why did every word that, while using the spell checker, that I chose "add to dictionary" disappear? I had hundreds of saved words, and they've all been deleted from my dictionary!

When a word is spelled incorrectly, sometimes it's just gaming jargon on a website that I use, so I add the word to my dictionary. However, every single word that I added has disappeared, and now words that were added months ago have the red underline! Why is this happening? This is the second time it has happened. Please help me to STOP this issue, thank you.
