 Hello Marc,
 
 I am the author of the article -- in person if I may say so :-)
 
 As far as the 'typo' is concerned, I did it on purpose: I actually meant to 
 reproduce a 'Freudian' lapsus (lapsus calami), i.e. reproduce the process of 
 writing something and then making corrections (^W: delete a word).  By the 
 way, another such 'device' is e.g. ^H to mean you are deleting a letter.
 
 If the Documentation Project deems this, er, 'stylistic' device acceptable 
 (for current standards of formality), there will be no need to remove it.  On 
 the other hand, if it sounds too informal, then let it be removed.
 
 Best regards,
 Salvo

 I was *1000 miles away* from thinking it was a normal typo :))
 
 I'm currently translating the article in french, i will remove the lapsus
 cause it's difficult to write/display it efficiently. Maybe in an irc
 way like "scre** err trouble, i mean" but it's not really good.
 
 Btw i will submit a PR about s/eg/e.g. and some quote tags addition
 etc...
 
 Cheers,
 Marc

 This was actually meant as a joke, but I have to admit it looks weird
 in running text.  Pressing ^W will erase the previous word in most
 terminals I've worked with, and this was the author's funny way of
 writing "screwups" or similarly offensive text without actually being
 offensive ;)
 
 I agree that this is confusing though, so I've committed this in
 revision 1.5 of doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/cvsup-advanced/article.sgml
