Meanings
-
(rare, slang) A typographical error that coincidentally results in a different, correctly spelled word and thus cannot be detected by a spell checker.
Many a proofreader has chuckled at how often the atomic typo of "form" for "from" appears in proofs and in print; this error catches their eye more easily than it catches the eye of most writers.
