As a general rule, I think (this is my personal opinion, not any kind of official statement) that it's pretty useless to submit errata for typos or spelling errors unless the typo or spelling error changes the meaning of the document in a way that would actually cause the reader to read something other than what the author(s) intended. Someone has to look at these errata; before spending someone's time, it's worth asking yourself if there is some benefit to doing so. I think errata can be really useful, and even typos sometimes do change the meaning of documents, but definitely do a little mental cost-benefit analysis before submitting one! Also, verb tenses are hard. :)
