Editing Typographical error (section)

==Atomic typos==
Another kind of typo—informally called an "'''atomic typo'''"—is a typo that happens to result in a correctly spelled word that is different from the intended one. Since it is spelled correctly, a simple [[spellchecker]] cannot find the mistake. The term was used at least as early as 1995 by Robert Terry.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Hanif|first1=C.
