I'm struggling to find an answer to this question. On one hand, it is very minor and can easily be missed by passersby who are not logged-in. On the other hand, typographical errors on a website can make the maintainers of an educational forum lose the slightest bit of credibility.

You can either use the Report link on such posts, or just send me a PM. I fix dozens of simple typos a week here. :wink:
