[bksvol-discuss] Re: die for the

In print, if the cross on the lower case t is slanted, the word "the" looks 
very much like the word "die" especially if the lower case h isn't very dark. 
And especially if it is a lower case t with the little curved tail. If you were 
able to visually see it, you'd understand. The same is true of corn for com. 
Depending upon the font, the rn looks very much like an m. That's why those are 
such common scanning errors.

Anyone have any hints on why the letters "the" are always being replaced with 
"die" (diem for them, diey for they, etc.)
