(Um, hi. I've been lurking here since John Scalzi linked to your LJ, and this discussion is fascinating. Thanks!)
I have a question about that 10% -- it says 10% excluding printer errors, so is there any situation where the 10% would include anything other than things the author later decided to change? I assume typos, cut out text, repeated text, etc. would all count as printer errors. Basically, what I'm asking is, if the version you submitted to the publisher is (in a perfect world, of course!) exactly what you want to be printed, could there be any type of change that would still count in that 10%? (Also, I assume author typos would be counted as part of this, and not as printer errors?)
I'm sure it's really not all that important, but I'm curious...

And yes, very awake!
