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"? :)
