I know this is small, and I dont have the book on DDB. But the physical copy has an error where it says in the adventure Lore of Lurue (minor spoiler for Canlkeep Mysteries) where it says
'"I'm Tragos... and this is Artelio and Funagi,"' then a paragraph later it says "Tragor is friends with a jovial sprite there, Wheeldoli, who might know more about recent happenings." Essentially, it calls Tragos Tragor in what is probably a spelling error.
This may have already be corrected, and I just saw this in my physical copy, but if this is on the dnd beyond copy then I just wanted to let you guys know. Please forgive me if this has already been corrected and is a mute point.
FYI, if there is a spelling error as you describe it in Candlekeep Mysteries, it actually _should_ show up on D&D Beyond. D&D Beyond is actually obligated by license to replicate the exact text of what's in the current printing, they can't copy edit official WotC content on their own.
I guess the best course of action for would be copy editors is to reach out to WotC in their social, but this far along, they're probably aware of it.

Actually, though that would make perfect sense to me, according to StormKnight that may not be true.
"We are 100% not allowed to change any rules text, or example text about rules, no matter what the typo might be (unless we have official errata or guidance from Wizards of the Coast to do so).
For adventures, if it's an obvious typo, we have some latitude to resolve it."
So.... If there is in fact a typo, they may actually be able to fix it. I don't have CM on DDB either but have it irl, so I can't really confirm nor deny whether or not it's present on DDB.
That's good to know. It'd frankly make more sense that typographic errors were corrected in consultation with WotC who would presumably maintain some sort of "corrected text" file for a future printing. It was one of the stranger areas of the license. It still is in terms of the RAW. I mean I get the principle but it's sort of on the company owned by a multi-million dollar company to not invest in better proofreading inhouse to have the humility to acknowledge errors and maintain some sort of living document as to what the rules actually should say, D&D Beyond and the digital providers being the best public repository of that living document is sort of again on WotC business and copy editing practices.

BoringBard's long and tedious posts somehow manage to enrapture audiences. How? Because he used Charm Person, the #1 bard spell!
