Mistype

The word prototype derives from the Greek πρωτότυπον meaning “first impression”.

The word stereotype derives from the Greek στερεός meaning “solid impression”.

They forgot the word monotype meaning “single impression”. It does have two useless technical meanings in printing and biology.

Odd that the first version of product is a prototype but the final version isn’t a stereotype.

Similarly a well-entrenched racial profile is a stereotype but a new one isn’t a prototype.

My monotype of the stereo-type is that its a prototype of a mistype.
