Answer #1

Holy crap. Good point. going to have to check all the other dictionary brands too, I guess.

Answer #2

there is I found one once…they switched the and made it teh lol…that is how you would know when it is so common anyone can make a mistake and our brains dont read letters they read words so mostly people dont realize when the letters are out of order.

Answer #3

The mistake would likely only be in one dictionary.

So if it’s spelled one way in Oxford, and a different way in Webster’s, you know you have to break out a third one to settle the score.

Answer #4

lmao thats really cool :S I think the dictionary is checked 100 times over before its printed. I doubt they’d be mistakes in there anyways

Answer #5

check it in another dictionary. I doubt a good dictionary has mistakes in it!!!
