by "missing words in dictionaries", do you mean that if "teh" was used
as an archaic spelling of "tea" in a work of Shakespeare (completely
made up and hypothetical example), that we should add "teh" to the
dictionary and no longer flag it as a wrongly spelled word?

Of course not. The result of this would only be a candidate list. One

would probably have to go through such a list manually and see if there

really are missing words. Maybe this is not needed for the most common

languages but for others it might be useful. I don't know it and that's

why I'm asking if this would be something helpful.
