Having stared at this for a few minutes without figuring out what the

} and wish to add nocorrect to it.

I understand all those words, but they convey to me nothing about the
desired final result ...

However, at a guess, your problem is that correction takes place before
preexec is ever called, so nothing you can do inside it will help.
