Also, apterous gives PROPELLOR as valid but not PROPELLORS.

I was surprised at it being disallowed, but I've checked my ODE3 and PAGANISE^ isn't in it. Nor is PAGANIZE^.

(While I'm here, I might as well mention that the same goes for OPTICALS. Also PAGANI[Z|S]E (and inflections) [...] are allowed but shouldn't be.)

DUN is listed as an adjective in ODE3, but DUNNER and DUNNEST are missing from the apterous ODE lexicon, which looks like an error.

CRENELATED, CRENELATES and CRENELATING should all be in but aren't.

It's not a US spelling. Dictionary says "crenellate ... (also crenelate)".

This thread has been superseded by the new ticket system. I'll migrate old dictionary errors to the ticket system in the next few days.
