Misspelling "pronominal " in the dictionary

Misspelling "pronominal " in the dictionary

I find it appalling that sources such as the Chambers Harrap dictionary mispell words, and write "pronomial verb" instead of "pronominal verb", especially considering that they provide a definition for "pronominal", but they don't register the word "pronomial".

The word "pronomial" does not appear in the dictionaries Merriam-Webster, Oxford English Dictionary, Collins, Longman, Chambers Harrap, Velazquez, Espasa Calpé, Heritage English,... or any other one.

The word "pronomial" is listed as a misspelling in most misspelling lists, among which I include:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/P
http://www.answers.com/topic/pronominal
http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:List_of_common_misspellings

Can we please correct this mistake, and write PRONOMINAL before the misspelling spreads out everywhere'
