I bought a digital copy of sci-fi novel by established author. Noticed that a certain medium length word was substituted by a longer unrelated word throughout the book. The correct word, identified by context was “understand”. Anyone familiar with word processors knows how to do this deliberately, and guess how it might happen inadvertently. Thought this mildly amusing/annoying. A excellent example of when to not be upset at another’s blunder. My fifth grade paper on Abraham Lincoln was not turned in spelled “Lincon” because my dear mother gave my paper a quick read.
A professional editor can help a professional author in ways AI and spell checkers can’t.
