I’ve just bought a second-hand dictionary and thesaurus, which has a contents list as follows:
“Abbreviations Used in this Book
Dictionary
Thesuarus
Appendices
Commonly Misspelt Words
Weights and Measures”
Strangely enough, “thesaurus” is not included in the list of Commonly Misspelt Words.

One of Bangkok’s 5-star hotels advertised its Valentine’s Day dinners in the local English-language press with the picture of two hands clasped on a table-cloth next to a rose and a flute of champagne with the caption ‘when every detial must be perfect’.
I gave it a miss.
