COS Ancester

>But, I still don't understand why Scholastic has reverted back to using
"ancestor" in the paperback
versions & I still haven't heard anyone from the UK who claims to have a
later edition of CoS that has the reference changed to ancestor.  So, for
now, I'm not too believing that the error wasn't in fact "deliberate" or
that it was just an error that's been corrected in later versions.  :--)

Not sure if that helps or not.  All my versions of CoS (including the
electronic one, which is from one of the US Hardback editions) say ANCESTOR.
