Editing Typographical error (section)

===Typing===
[[File:Spelling Correction Example.jpg|thumb|right|[[Correction fluid]] was often used to correct typographical errors as (or after) the document was typed. The fluid was painted over the error and, when dry  the correct spelling was written on the new surface. Exceptionally, printing errors were painted out and a handwritten correction applied.]]
When using a [[typewriter]] without [[correction tape]], typos were commonly [[overstrike|struck out]] with another character such as a [[strikethrough]]. This saved the typist the trouble of retyping the entire page to eliminate the error, but as evidence of the typo remained, it was not aesthetically pleasing. [[Correction fluid]] was invented to hide the original mark and allow the typist to correct the error almost invisibly. [[Word processing]] software all but eliminated the need for this solution.
