Erroneous or omitted punctuation
Word spacing
Turned type (u for n, w for m, b for d, etc)
Broken type (v for y, n for h, etc)
Type substitutions that are easy to make in error (c for e, i for l,

Missing letters, if there was a clear gap indicating that one should
have been there and it was also obvious what the letter should
be
