No one escapes that Gabriel García Márquez It is one of the biggest writers that humanity has given ... however, and as he admitted on more than one occasion, spelling was not his strong suit and he committed the odd mistake when he wrote his exquisite works, leaving the mission to his editors and proofreaders to mend the gazapos that could commit.
In fact, the author himself expressed himself on more than one occasion in favor of making some changes in the language to simplify the spelling so that this was not one of the terrors of men and women from birth to death.

Says so:
Andres Bello, a very important philologist, was writing to a friend who had desperate spelling mistakes. One day, after spending the afternoon together, the friend said goodbye to him saying: "This week I will write to you without fail." Bello replied, “Don't take that job! Write to me as always ”.
