 They are just typos like any other.  It's not like they witness some
 important historical/regional phonetic change in diachrnoic
 development.
 
 My favorite example is this fix from imp@ (iirc):
 
 - . if "\\$1"2" .ds ]W 2rd Berkeley Distribution
 + . if "\\$1"2" .ds ]W 2nd Berkeley Distribution
 
 How do you even read "2rd"?  "Turd"? :)
