Is `ignore` a clear enough answer to `Did you mean to spell X this way?`

The text editor has an "ignore" button and the Chrome extension has a "dismiss" button. Do these mean the same thing? The linter message is a yes/no question - does either button provide an obvious clear answer meaning either "yes" or "no"?

To me, "ignore" is unclear in that it might mean "don't flag this error again" but in practice it only seems to mean "don't flag this instance of this error". "Dismiss" seems a bit different and seems to mean "Don't bother me with this right now" and leaving the question as to whether it's an error or not unanswered.
