misprints
Text gone wrong
Misprints are errors in printed text—typos, transposed letters, or garbled words that appear in books, newspapers, or other publications.
A single misprint can change meaning entirely: The cookbook's misprint called for one cup of salt instead of one teaspoon.
Historically, misprints in important documents like Bibles acquired nicknames based on their errors.
