A rarely used word is not a spelling error. This problem is one of many similar problems. Thus, I suggest that you 'take a step back' and decide what to do about the problem in general.
I think that a good solution is to have a category similar to the 'Commonly Confused' words. Call it something like 'Probable spelling error'.

This is a question to the English native speakers: should we always detect 'calender' as a misspelling, with an error message that probably 'calendar' should be used?
