Isn't "apology" a verb?


No (although the OED gives it as a verb but in rare obsolete form for which it carries
two citations from the 1600s).

As far as I remember, I have ever encountered an example in my textbook during my school time which started with "I apology for...". Oh well, maybe my memories are just playing with me as I got older.

"Typo", short for "typographical error" is when you mistype something.
A "misprint" is when there is a screw-up in a published document that the author (or everyone who reads it)
sees is wrong.

So "misprint" is a valid word? I often see it in TCG business.
