I spent a lot of time googling this. Wrong is a synonym for "incorrect." It seems like Americans tend to using "wrong" with moral judgements, but in fact, wrong can equally be used for a mistake, such as a spelling one. Having been schooled in the British system (at least in my day in Canada!) I was taught that both could be used in either case.

Word nerd to word nerd, (I love words, so being a word nerd is a good thing to me. lol) Synonym doesn't always make it the same. Synonyms for walk:
stroll, strut, saunter, trudge, sashay, hike, waddle, stomp, shuffle, march.
(I'm writing a novel, so I can't go off and say everyone is walking. lol)
As for the Oxford? We are Americans. I know it is said that England and the US is divided by a common language, but, frankly? Poor Canada is caught in the crossfire. We'll accept y'all don't talk like us, if you accept I can also say "you" for plural-you and can even "youse" on occasion. We're just not Oxford Dictionary material.
And you lose me completely if you start talking "the Oxford comma." I don't even get the American comma!

Wrong can be a synonym for incorrect but the word wrong implies a moral error while incorrect isn't used this way. We were always taught in school that it was grammatically improper to use them synonymously because wrong represents a moral question while incorrect represents a mistake in one's action or thought that has no moral implications. But, that was a long time ago. I would not at all be surprised to hear that this rule of grammar as changed. Seems like every time I turn around some rule has changed particularly with the use of punctuation marks.
