Not really, Dirk, as ... A typo is a mistake in
Post# of 11802
A typo is a mistake in written or published writing. If you find a misspelled word or misplaced punctuation mark in this blurb, you've caught a typo.
Typo is short for typographical error, and you can also call it a misprint. Typos are errors made during the typing process that have been missed by editors and proofreaders. Originally, typos were mistakes made during typesetting, but today you can use the term for mistakes in any typewritten text, from instant messages to social media posts.
A "typo" would be a misspelling of Mr. Berman's name, not an entirely different name inserted into his place.
This is the difference in a "typo" and an error.
An error is an action which is inaccurate or incorrect. In some usages, an error is synonymous with a mistake.
Nevertheless, the attorney fixed his mistake and there can be no guessing what the paragraph in question now means, versus how it previously read with Mr. Scott inserted in place of Mr. Berman.
