Hi Sharon,

Thanks for looking out for others! The copy editor world is such an
interesting one. There have been several valuable points brought up in this
thread. I'll simply say that in addition to, or in place of, responding
through the website with an errors you see or comments you have, any
readers are also welcome to contact me directly.

In community,
Karin


When I spot such errors on sites of organizations I support, I
sometimes will send an email point it out to the site maintainer. They
are appreciative.  I also send broken link reports to organizations I
support - which sometimes result from typos.
