Editing Typographical error (section)

==Scribal errors==
Scribal errors receive much attention in the context of [[textual criticism]]. Many of these mistakes are not specific to manuscripts and can be referred to as typos. Some classifications include [[homeoteleuton]] and homeoarchy (skipping a line due to the similarity of the ending or beginning), [[haplography]] (copying once what appeared twice), [[dittography]] (copying twice what appeared once), contamination (introduction of extraneous elements), metathesis (reversing the order of some elements), unwitting mistranscription of similar elements, mistaking similar looking letters, the substitution of [[homophones]], fission and fusion (joining or separating words).<ref>Paul D.
