litcrit "chiasmatic"

My Blackberry spell checker corrects CHIASMATIC to CHEESEBURGER. I hope Mr.  Popik will take note.

2005 Wyatt Bonikowski in _Modern Fiction Studies_ LI (Fall) 513: I will pay particular attention to the chiasmatic crossings of dichotomies in these texts - especially the external and the internal, visible and invisible, surface and depth, body and mind, which the metaphors of penetration figure.

  Dr. Bonikowski is Assistant Professor of English at Suffolk University, Boston.

  Not in OED. Why the cover-up?
