Documenting census handwriting interpretation error

The 1920 US census has my father's name wrong, maybe due to poor handwriting of census taker.  Is it possible to publish a correction that is seen by people looking at that census entry?  It shows my father as James Ward Jr.  rather than James R (or Raymond) Ward.  Whenever I get a MyHeritage discovery match that includes this bad info, I do not want to confirm, but some of the data in the matches is somewhat useful.  I end up neither confirming nor rejecting the discovery matches.
