I know it's annoyi...My advice is to just let it go. I know it's annoying to have mistakes in your work. Believe me, I know. I've had editors PUT in errors where none existed. But unless you are writing for a Web site, where changes can be easily made, editors are going to be reluctant to make the change. It's also not such a big error. I've seen much worse in books today, though that doesn't say much for the publishing industry. It's hard. You are only one person, and as much as you try, mistakes will come through. It would be good if a copyeditor could eliminate them, but they're only human too. As long as it does not affect plot, I would let it go. You may or may not be seen as a pain to your editors if you bring it up. Do you want to take the risk?<BR/><BR/>And I'd be annoyed at the "fan" who wrote that letter. Geez.
