A text error is an unintentional mistake in a written text, such as a TYPO or GARBLE. A TYPO is an error in typing, such as a misspelling or incorrect punctuation, while a GARBLE is an error in the transmission of a message, resulting in a distorted or unintelligible version of the original message. Text errors can be caused by a variety of factors, including human error, technical issues, and environmental factors.
