No: sorry, but that's silly, of course. A dictionary's purpose is to
help readers understand what they find - correct or incorrect. So any
dictionary worth its salt will indeed list common wrong versions as
well as correct ones. They are descriptive and don't provide any
imprimatur. As someone memorably said, "_Fliegerabwehrkanone_ has
nineteen letters, none of which is a C"!
