[My note: A good illustration of how the mind is active in interpreting something, to the point of being "transparent" to the reader. That is, the reader is amazed that they can read it; the mind is actively interpreting. The obvious misspellings make the reader aware of how much the mind is interpreting. How much more is the mind active in interpreting the biblical texts in ways that we are not aware of?]
