That's not a criticism of you - it's a fine tradition of the magazine to point out slips in articles or cartoons (they have, for instance, had arguments going about the meaning of "triplet" in music going for 3 issues now, with the original cartoonist supplying follow-up cartoons. And they had to call it "Pedantry Corner" to avoid arguments in it of "Pedants Corner" v. "Pedant's Corner" v. "Pedants' Corner" ).
