Error Words
We're sure about this one.
A word that lost its accents instead of having them converted.
Sometimes the whole letter goes with them. htel is hôtel, dcor is décor, crpe is crêpe, debcle is débâcle.
The same thing happens to æ and œ. anmia is anæmia with the æ deleted, not a misspelling of the modern anemia.
