What word us spelled incorrectly in every single dictionary?​

Answered by admin @



Answer:

No word is.

I’m sure the word you’re going for is “incorrectly”. But first, you would need to write your question like this for that to be the correct answer:

Which word is spelled ‘incorrectly’ in every single dictionary in print?

English orthography requires that when you use a word for something other than its actual meaning, you must distinguish it so the reader will understand that. You did not do that, so you framed your question improperly.

Second, plenty of English dictionaries don’t list incorrectly as a word at all. They instead list it as the adverbial form of incorrect. E.g.:

incorrect: adj., not correct; wrong. adv. -ly, in an incorrect fashion or manner.

Lastly, there are plenty of dictionaries that are not dictionaries of English, and that thus have no reason to have the word ‘incorrectly’ in them at all. Thus, it is simply not true that ‘incorrectly’ is spelled ‘incorrectly’ in every single dictionary in print.
