[Ads-l] Grammatical error in the New Yorker

[Tim Stewart]

Has anybody ever done a typology of ways errors appear in print? Recent
additions to such a typology would include autocorrect fails, speech to
text fails, and (my favorite) copy-and-paste fails. When I saw "published"
for "publish" my first thought was the writer reshaping the paragraph via
copy and paste and forgetting to update the form of "publish".
