That's my thought too.

I'd suggest replace the "Preview comment" button with two buttons.
"Report Typo" and "Preview comment".

Then when viewing the preview, have a "Report Typo" button that comes before the "Publish comment" button.

Maybe check the comment for a few keywords like "typo", and if present - move the "Publish comment" way over to the right.

Of course, then we'll get complaints about a "Nanny state" which treats us all like children.

Maybe moving the current message next to the "Preview" button would help? That's where the eyes are going to naturally follow using a mouse.

Take that with a grain of salt - I'm not a professional UX designer or psychologist (just aware that this stuff is subtle and hard in the same way as crypto).
