>>I have a question then.
Has anyone here had a book published?
Does anyone here know that the book publisher has people called
"editors" that go over the book for exactly these kinds of
discrepancies?

So, unless the editors are a bunch of bumble brains, they would be
telling Jo: "You have some dates wrong here. Fix them or we will."

But yet, the dates stay in the book the way they are. Why?

For only one reason: Because the DATES are NOT WRONG. It is how we
are misreading them. (I exclude the last book because they put the
dates in wrong to make a point about our lack of being able to
discern what is being said.)<<

HunterGreen (who is a little dismayed that everything in her original 
post on this subject was ignored except for the last paragraph):
The editors wouldn't know to tell her to "fix" things like the days 
of the week, since they don't know what year the books are supposed 
to be in. As for other things, like the September first issue, I 
think that's an artistic license thing (or perhaps the WW has a 
special calender). Mostly, I agree with you though, that many of the 
mistakes people talk about aren't mistakes at all, but things readers 
are misreading (or looking too closely at). 

Out of curiosity though, what dates in OotP are you speaking of?
