Ok I just stumbled by pure chance on what can be a big one. This one definitely needs to be checked with a print version. The candidate error is always the same, it's "
O yes" which should normally be "
Oh yes"
there are
19 instances of this error (if it is an error of course)
The first one happens on Book 4, chapter 2: The passage of the marshes
Quote:

Lots of His people will be there looking out for guests, very pleased to take them straight to Him, O yes. His Eye watches that way all the time. It caught Sméagol there, long ago.

The last one is on book 4, chapter 9: Shelob's lair
Quote:

We takes this one. She’ll get the other. O yes, Shelob will get him, not Sméagol: he promised; he won’t hurt Master at all. But he’s got you, you nassty filthy little sneak!’ He spat on Sam’s neck.

Also "nassty" is not correct but might be right as Tolkien intended it to express the hissing of Sméagol's talk.
