The NICNT - The Letters to Timothy and Titus:
I have noticed this. Is this a typo?
good find! You are correct. It almost looks like the author was originally going with "decency" is and then changed to "decency" occurs leaving the is in the sentence
for reference's sake, its on pg. 206 beginning in the first new paragraph
...also I submitted the typo; anyone else can as well.
I would say so. I would assume, however, that it is in the original. You can right click the word and report it as a typo. Logos can submit it to the publisher.

I check Google books, which has the scanned NIC volumes available for text searches, and the error did not show up there:
Where does Google get off scanning copyrighted books that people have to pay for? What gives them the right to break copyright?
They can't and they don't. See screenshot below:

In addition, the viewing is restricted to a limited number of pages. Plus, there are links to buy the book on the side. I suspect it's part of Eerdmans marketing strategy. I find it very useful though, since I don't own the NIC set.
Phew, that's a relief. I thought it was another part of Google's quest for world domination.
Reporting typos is like waiting for a bus – first one comes along and before you know it your are finding them in every second line. If you don't believe me have a look at NIGTC on Galatians. Fortunately, I have the printed text, so I was able to check that the squillions I found did not exist in the original print edition. The Logos copy was probably done after one coffee too many by a hyperactive typist! [;)]
Finding typos is an international sport for Logos users.
My question is, does Logos ever actually make any of those typographical corrections? I have logged HUNDREDS of them and have yet to see a single one make its way to my books. Is this just an exercise in futility or is Logos teaching us how to be good English Comp professors?

If the error is in the original, Logos should not (and legally cannot... at least to books in copyright) make those changes. Resources which have typos due to OCR problems DO get updated regularly.
By the way, this thread is two years old. [;)]

No, but they do say in their acknowledgement of typo reports that they will make that information available to the original publisher for correction.
I trust that they do. Anyway I'm going to keep on reporting typos I find because:

That's what I call recycling!! [;)]
Good points Alan. [:)]
