Popular, but unofficial edit

With ECC and the like in use in all over the digital world, the word miscorrection is used a lot in those fields. It's sometimes casually used in wider contexts, but there's no offical dictionary I've found with this. In days past, miscorrect was offical. --A D Monroe III 23:28, 30 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

It certainly looks real to me, based on the number of raw hits at books.google.com. Maybe the other dictionaries think it is too obvious a definition. Sometimes we don't work very hard at entries beginning in-, un-, or non-, though we like to have them if they are used and especially if only one of them is used so we have a good antonym for the root entry.
