Another new word

Thought I’d come across a doozy of a spelling mistake/made up word on a website recently … ‘certificated’. However, a bit of investigation on dictionary.com has educated me that it is actually a word, subtly different from ‘certified’ which is what I thought it was being confused with in the first place.

certificated – to furnish with, testify to, or authorise by a certificate
certified – endorsed authoritatively as having met certain requirements
