When a text is blurred or obscured due to mistakes or damaged ink or paper, it is often referred to as "whited out." However, there are several synonyms that can be used to describe this phenomenon. Some common alternatives include "blacked out," "erased," "covered up," "obscured," "concealed," "hidden," "obliterated," and "expunged." These terms can be especially useful in contexts where "whited out" might not make sense or could be confused with other meanings, such as in areas where snow is common. By having a varied vocabulary for describing this type of problem, readers and writers can communicate more effectively and precisely.
