Sometimes the simple hands make more damage than slam not declared.

Something about this appears to be backwards. Is this supposed to say: "Jack leads ♠3; 3NT down 1. wbridge5 leads ♥2; 3NT makes. 12 imp for jack" ?

Sometimes the small typos make even more damage than the hands themselves

I think the OP is just not familiar with the conventions for naming cards. And for all I know, when they write about cards in Italy they say 3♠ rather than ♠3.

And I don't think his mistake really caused much damage. I doubt many people were confused for more than a minute.

It's not about naming cards. It's about who was on lead and whether or not the contract made.
