The following words are typos or probably should be removed:

hellgrammiate [correct exists]
thalmencephalon=thalamencephalon [but not same as diencephalon]
parosamia=parosmia
rijsttaffel=rijsttafel
arianist=Arianist
vase-fine=vase-vine
crocolite=crocoite
alhamdulilah=alhamdulillah
decentalisation=decentralisation
one one's coattails=on one's coattails
Ukranian=Ukrainian
undecideable=undecidable
friend with benefit=friend with benefits
cinnamon colored=cinnamon-colored
Triopidae=Triopsidae
adesite [correct exists]
psychodelic drug
corn tash
nitril
brain sugar
haemitin
haematohiston
hematohiston
pollenation
pollenate
poison mercury

These likely should be split:
roundworm!=ringworm
epidermal!=cuticular
milium!=whitehead
spikelet and others in synset

Thanks for the contribution. Here are my comments on the changes:

  • hellgrammiate [correct exists]
    • change member to 'hellgrammite'
  • thalmencephalon=thalamencephalon [but not same as diencephalon]
    • new synset for thalamencephalon
  • parosamia=parosmia
    • change member
  • rijsttaffel=rijsttafel
    • change member
  • arianist=Arianist
    • change member
  • vase-fine=vase-vine
    • change member
  • crocolite=crocoite
    • change member
  • alhamdulilah=alhamdulillah
    • change member
  • decentalisation=decentralisation
    • change member
  • one one's coattails=on one's coattails
    • change member
  • Ukranian=Ukrainian
    • change member
  • undecideable=undecidable
    • mark as UK spelling and add undecidable [This way my fault, I added this and forgot how Americans spell]
  • friend with benefit=friend with benefits
    • change member
  • cinnamon colored=cinnamon-colored
    • change member
  • Triopidae=Triopsidae
    • change member
  • adesite [correct exists]
    • delete synset in favour of 14749543-n
  • psychodelic drug=psychedelic drug
    • change member
  • corn tash
    • Not sure what this is supposed to be. Googling refers only to WordNet derived resources, so I guess we can drop this lemma
  • nitril
    • delete member
  • brain sugar
    • This one seems okay. Attestation "D-Galactose is also known as brain sugar since it is a component of glycoproteins (oligosaccharide-protein compounds) found in nerve tissue" source
  • haemitin=haematin
    • change member
  • haematohiston hematohiston
    • Neither seems to be used or be synonyms for 'globin'. Remove these members
  • pollenation pollenate
  • poison mercury
    • I can find no support for this lemma. Similarly "markweed" is unsupported, we should remove both lemmas. "poison oak" is also given as a lemma and this refers to another plant!
  • roundworm!=ringworm
    • Remove member
  • epidermal!=cuticular
    • Seems okay. Attestation "[Cuticle] can also be used as a synonym for the epidermis,[2] the outer layer of skin." source
  • milium!=whitehead
    • Split synsets
  • spikelet and others in synset

Markweed does seem to be in MW.

Oxford says "poison oak" is used non-technically for poison ivy:
western poison oak is listed separately. As is eastern poison oak (but with Latin names that disagree with wikipedia, may need updating).
