Allison:
This kind of scanno generally occurs when the setting is too dark,
especially if the font has seriffs. What happens is that the OCR
incorrectly separates the t & the h, e.g., it views portions of the
letters t & h as though they were together (d) then the rest of the h
as an i.
Not long ago Lissi posted a bunch of funny scannos on this list & my
recollection is that was 1 of them.
