silly louse , you are nuts
What about "louse, mouse, douse" and all the other words that are spelled similarly? You would have to change a good percentage of the dictionary in order for it to work the way you want it to. It would be easier just to learn proper English. It's NOT THAT hard.

How would I go about getting the spelling of a word changed in the Oxford dictionary?
The Oxford Dictionary records words as they are used in formal published english. You are not likely therefore to get spellings changed to what you consider to be a more phonetic form unless everyone else agrees and starts using it.



The problem with shifting to phonetic forms of spelling is quite simple - whose phonetics? It also takes away clues as to the history and relationships of that word.
e-mail the company responsible for the words and the printing of the dictionaries or cross the word out in your dictionary and re-write the word the way you think it should be spelt.
