errata
List of typos
Errata is the plural of erratum, a Latin word meaning an error in writing or printing.
In practice, errata almost always appears as a collective noun designating a list of corrections to errors discovered after publication: The errata sheet was inserted into the book's front matter.
Publishers issue errata when mistakes in a text are significant enough to warrant formal correction but not serious enough to justify a new edition.
