Errores de máquina escribir, tacografía del pasad Favor vease a http://www.jollinger.com/typewriters/ I like typewriters as long as I don’t have to actually use them. I grew up at the tail end of their era and typed high school and college essays. I don’t have fond memories of handling ribbon, unjamming keys because I typed too fast, making a mess with Liquid Paper and correction tape, or the ugliness of** strikeovers and strikeouts**

Observación o tachadura

Generalmente cuando se negocia un contrato el documento va y viene y se hacen tachaduras u observaciones. El extracto que citas estaría hablando de estas tachaduras. Serían como enmiendas, pero más informal.
Peer comment(s):

agree Adrian MM. : with tachadura as a deletion IATE: strike out delete borrar tachar vs. strike-down *by a court* of individual clauses or even the whole contract vs. striking off the roll of a misbehaving lawyer or the register of a jettisoned company.

taipiar x sobre los errores

ejemplo de strike out, kytyper.com/blog

First, simply "x" through the mistake. For much of the writing done on manual machines, this is a perfectly acceptable solution when that pinky strays to the wrong key. Plus, it gives your writing some character. Embrace the typos!

Another option is to use Bic Wite-Out Correction Tape (or a generic brand of the same item). When you make a typing mistake, roll up the paper so you can easily get to it, apply a piece of correction tape over the mistake and you're good to go.

One last option would be to use old-time correction tabs. With these, you simply place them over the character you'd like to remove and retype with the correct character. A white coating covers up the mistake. I remember using these in my high school typing class!
Example sentence:

Ns se puede aceptar un contrato lleno de x sobre cada equivocion, ni una nueva letra sobre pintura blanca WHITE OUT

Taipiar no es Castellano, Anglocismo, strike out, golpe de la tecla sobre un error.
