actually,
there are people who seem to LIVE for catching out
lexicographers.
no, that's wrong of me...i'm sure they are just noble watchdogs
trying to protect the public from being exposed to errors
that we would never notice
--if not for them.
lord knows,
I'M no great speller!
and need all the help
(the CORRECT help)
i can get.

we don't unless they publish something that tells us that there has been a mistake...kinda like a disclaimer in the newspaper....
