Korrigointeja

Korrigointeja is a Finnish term that translates to "corrections" or "errata." In the context of printed materials, it refers to a list of errors found in a publication after it has been printed, along with their intended corrections. This is a common practice in book publishing, academic journals, and other forms of written media to ensure accuracy and to address mistakes that were overlooked during the editing and proofreading process.

Typically, a korrigointeja section would be placed at the beginning or end of a document. It would list the page number, line number, and the incorrect text, followed by the correct version. For example, it might state: "Page 42, line 15: 'form' should be 'from'." This allows readers to manually amend their copies, ensuring they have the most accurate information.

The existence of a korrigointeja list often indicates a commitment to quality and transparency from the publisher. While modern digital publishing has reduced the need for physical errata sheets, the concept remains relevant in the form of updated digital editions or corrigenda notices. It serves as a historical reminder of the challenges in achieving perfect printed texts and the efforts made to rectify errors.
