Shalom to all!
Just a note on this topic from a perspective of traditional Jewish exegesis.
Don Isaac Abravanel in his introduction to Jeremiah explained the numerous
differences between Qere and Ketiv in the book by citing Jeremiah's call to
prophecy at an early age ("na`ar 'anoki") - he made numerous spelling errors
because he hadn't been able to attend school!
