The days when a person was on their own digging records out of the  
courthouse probably produced most of those mistakes you're talking  about. No internet 
to learn from - you would have had to work at finding  out if what you were 
doing was correct. And as soon as most people found that  the f was an old-style 
s, they would have changed their ways.
 
But there are a few people out there whose minds are unable to transform  
from one identification set to another.  A square doesn't always pop out  into a 
cube for them, unfortunately.  They must have very frustrating  lives.

And if any transcriber was caught transcribing Mississippi as  "Mipipippi", 
they should be immediately terminated for being afflicted with an  acute lack 
of common sense  :-)
