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

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.
