- Although the Dictionary Association wouldn't allow that if it happened theoretically then it would eventually be picked up in spell check.
- Rest assured, errors occur even in dictionaries! We recognize them because we know better.
- One way to recognize an error is when it contradicts something you know to be true. There may well be misspellings in any book, for there will surely be errors of some kind in it! Thankfully there are other, different books to cross-reference. Be extra careful when all the sources agree about anything. Then it's the truth even when it isn't.
- we would never know unless someone goes bk in time
- I don't think a word in the dictionary would be misspelt. I'm sure that they have a team of experts checking that there's no mistakes. I'm sure you could take up a profession of looking through the dictionary and checking that there are no mistakes.
