Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Topic Options #205960 - 06/04/12 11:52 AM Does Anyone Know..... deansv stranger Registered: 06/04/12 Posts: 1 Loc: Ca. I believe there is a word (or brief phrase) in German that is used to refer to someone who has an innate ability to notice typographical errors or mispronunciations. I read an article about it many years ago in the Los Angeles Times, but have been unable to find it since. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

I'm getting some responses on my Facebook question but nothing quite serious yet. The best seems to be Typologe.

Not unless they go all over you about the errors they've found. Unfortunately that seems to be par for the course. _________________________ Ceci n'est pas un seing.
