As a proofreader, I find the above mentioned separation of the terms "spelling error" and "typo" hilarious. Anything misspelled is a spelling error. Anything mistyped is a typographical error (abbreviated as "typo"). So if the writer or typesetter misspells something for a DVD cover and it gets printed, it is both a spelling error and a typo. If one of us fat fingers (nice, Gerri) a spelling mistake, then it, too, is both a spelling error and a typo. Typos also can include erronious (or missing) punctuation, odd spacings, and weird wraparounds. A typo can be any error introduced into copy during the typesetting process, including spelling errors. In our instances spelling errors and typos are not separate, (spelling errors printed on DVD cases; spelling errors introduced by transcribers who submit profiles) but one is contained within the other, with spelling errors being a subset of typos.
I agree with that. Words that are wrongly spelled in a sentence are as ugly as a red pimple on the nose, whatever the cause. I still regret that contribution rules advocate what all teachers try, with many difficulties, to teach to our children... I have suggestion for Surfeur, per haps you get a job in Hollywood either proof-reading or perhaps teaching spelling and grammar to those whackos. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

| | Posted: | | | | Maybe we should ask for a clarification in the rules, instead of: "You are making a subtle change that may be hard to spot - for example spelling correction to the overview." we should have: "You are making a subtle change that may be hard to spot - for example correcting a fat-fingered overview." |
