*someone* should point out all the places where her inconsistencies distract
the reader.

surprised if you weren't the only human being on this planet who noticed
that typo. 

Carol:
Oh, I don't think I'm the only human being on this planet who still knows
how to spell. One or two English teachers must have noticed it, and the
copyeditor should have caught it. It's spelled correctly in PoA but
misspelled in SS/PS and CoS

:::RAISES HAND:::

I'm an English Teacher!!! And hey, guess what, teaching English and being a
pro-speller does not go hand-in-hand.

Also, remember that they stopped editing so close between UK and US versions
after POA. And since many consider "miniscule" to be just find, it's
possible one editor with your sensibilities changed it when another, like
me, left it! MS Word, btw, doesn't correct either spelling and
Merriam-Webster says both are find, so loosen up! It's not Nukular or
anything!
