1. is an obvious and clear mistake. It is a mistake that occurs in the pronunciation of the that affects the accuracy of the reading.  An example of this would be reading the letter  as a .

2. is an obscured and hidden mistake. It is a mistake that enters the reading but is only heard and known by an accomplished reader. It is not a mistake that leads to a change in the meaning, or language, or grammar.
