What word was spelt incorrectly in the Oxford Dict in 2010?
A team of proof readers found one word spelt incorrectly out of 600,000 words.
What was it?
No I don't know but if i find out I could win a free pitch at our local boot fair tomorrow.

In fact if it is the word I'm thinking of it is always spelt incorrectly.
I want to win a free pitch!
Yes
Well that is what I would put anyway - if that is not the correct answer though I don't want to be sued or anything (for one thing I have no money!) ;)
I didn't win.
Everybody out.
What's he gotta do with owt?
Could we all club in or something ?
I have a box of defunct foreign currency to donate ...
I think supersede is the only 'sede' word - the rest are 'cede'. Different er ... origin/root or something. The 'cedes' come from 'to yield'. Not sure where 'sede' comes from. Perhaps it's in the dictionary. :)
