Found a mistake in REU personal statement

[Bishop556]

Hello,

On all my REU applications besides two or three, I was asked to describe my previous research. I did so, but I realized I referred to the hydrogen atom as the hydrogen molecule. I showed in the case of H2+ that we develop the standard potential energy curve for the hydrogen atom. I accidentally wrote "hydrogen molecule" instead of "hydrogen atom". I assume that most people would not catch this mistake, but I am worried none the less. Is this typo worthy of an email to correct this error?

I think it's okay. It's easy to think of hydrogen as a molecule since its most prevalent pure form on Earth is as a gas of H2 molecules.
