Erratum

An erratum or corrigendum (plurals: errata, corrigenda) (comes from Latin: errata corrige) is a correction of a published text. As a general rule, publishers issue an erratum for a production error (i.e., an error introduced during the publishing process) and a corrigendum for an author's error. It is usually bound into the back of a book, but for a single error a slip of paper detailing a corrigendum may be bound in before or after the page on which the error appears. An erratum may also be issued shortly after its original text is published.

Examples of use of errata
1. A few minor errata didn‘t constitute a stacked deck.
2. Suppose, I say, we were to publish an errata column with this interview, what would she hope to see in it? ‘There have been so many stories,‘ she says.
