As a proofreader, that would be a wonderful help.

Charisma,
Jamie has a great way to handle the problem of publisher printed errors in the
books she scans. First, she warns me, the proofreader that there are errors
printed in the text. Then, she puts a note in parenthesis next to each printed
error for the proofreader that says: this word is really spelled this way in
the text. Then, as I proofread the book, I know to leave those words alone
when I get to them, and just erase the parenthesized note.
