Deck Squaring

Is there an acceptable range for deck to be out of square? I'm building a 28x16 free standing. I cut the board next to the house to accomodate water faucet and attached joists on each side to support and everything was square. Being stupid I didn't realize you can't use 2 single joist hangers together so took the 1 joist off and put back with a double hanger which required me to move the frame. Everything was put back using the same markings but now I am 1/2" off of being square. Is this acceptable without causing issues when I start installing decking? Thank you.
