If there was a word spelled wrong in the dictionary how would we know?

well.. obviously if you cannot tell that its spelled wrong, then you won't know until someone points it out. Of course you can always cross reference it, if you believe its not spelled correctly.

go on dictionary.com or webser's website to check :)If there was a word spelled wrong in the dictionary how would we know?
Well there are many other dictionaries out there so you could compare if someone thought something was a bit off. If you wrote a complaint, the dictionary company would probably see if it's an alternate spelling word. If it is indeed a typo, they'd fix it and re-issue the corrected word in their next issue dictionary.
This has happened before, especially in mass production of books such as the Bible where verses will be mixed up. As other have said cross-reference it and see how the word is most often used or spelled. Majority rules.If there was a word spelled wrong in the dictionary how would we know?
