From Dead Jackie #1:

ARCHETYPO

As publishing has become slack-land as far as proofing is concerned, more and more errors show up in books. The ARCHETYPO is an error which is not only incorrect, but changes the meaning, not only for the matter in which it appears, but to the reader, who may think s/he has discovered an eternal truth in a Judith Krantz novel.
