This was removed previously in #555, but later added back in #1330.

Naive(probably often) suggestion, but there will be nice to have list of corrections that was removed from dict, to prevent oscillation for adding\removing words.

Naive as it may be (I don't know) I believe that suggestion is a good one.

Indeed, misformed is a valid word according to the OED. However, it is seldom used nowadays according to the Google Books Ngram Viewer, which is probably why it is in the list of typos of the Linux kernel and missing from SCOWL (And Friends).

Perhaps it should be moved to the rare dictionary.
