 * Typographical errors are not words, and Google searches are not evidence. Did you check the actual sources you found?  Some of them are not English, some of them display no content, and some are scanning errors.  Some of the returns in your search are for neighborhood, some for neighbourhood.  Links to searches are not useful evidence. --EncycloPetey 22:25, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

 * This is not a common misspelling and there might be a half dozen random misspellings of every one of the (million-plus?) words in the English language. I don't support adding entries for misspellings, unless they are very common or notable. 71.66.97.228 01:37, 10 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Examining this search result, now I am not so sure. Some of them seem to represent an alternate spelling. Most results are reputable English-language publications and most are not scanning errors. 71.66.97.228 01:41, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Restored, should be moved to RFV if anyone wants to. However, it looks like the citations page already has three citations. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:01, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Surely this should be listed as a misspelling
