Do you not think that textbook would have multiple places where they use that word?

Is the word only ever written in the one textbook, then?

Im saying that it's not a typo if the creator of a word spells it a certain way multiple times in a book. They clearly meant to spell it that way when they were writing the book.

As i read it, in the commenter's scenario, it is the extra "i" that would be the typo.
