ledició

Ledició is a nonstandard spelling occasionally found in Catalan-language texts, typically as a misspelling of the word edició. The normative Catalan noun edició denotes either an edition of a published work or the act of preparing a text for publication. Ledició is not recognized as a separate term in contemporary dictionaries or official language guidelines; it is generally attributed to typographic errors, OCR misreads, or regional variation without widespread acceptance.

In standard usage, edició refers to editions and the editioning process. An edition is a specific version of a work released by a publisher, and it may be distinguished by features such as pagination, illustrations, or textual variants. The broader action of editing is described with the verb editar, while the noun edició appears in library catalogs, bibliographies, and publishing contracts to indicate the edition and its metadata (year, publisher, edition number). Across Catalan-speaking contexts, editors and writers normally ensure the correct spelling edició to maintain consistency with orthographic norms.

Because Catalan orthography standardizes edició, ledició is generally treated as an error to be corrected in formal writing. When encountered, it is advisable to replace ledició with edició. Related terms in other languages include edición in Spanish and édition in French. See also: edició, edición, édition.
