> True, but if your transcription was being handled by a professional typist...

I tend to think business users at the time had the fancy typewriters or word processors, while home/student users were limited to whatever correction tools they could afford.

As a student, prior to getting a dot matrix printer, I would use either liquid paper or those powdered correction sheets to fix typos.
