2.	People tend to be much more careful about punching numbers into a  
telephone than typing words on a keyboard, I think.  There's also not  
a conceptual conflation of common typo mistakes with common telephone

such thing as a common number transposition, while there certainly is  
with linguistic constructs such as letters).
