Huh. You didn't somehow get the self-published version, did you? I don't remember noticing copyediting problems, and I'm usually annoyed by those.

It's entirely possible--I borrowed it from someone else and some of them, I thought at first they were typical ebook formatting issues (like in-tact), but the errors are pretty consistent. (I see this in a lot of work I do with self-publishing authors through Amazon--they have their wife or their friend or whatever proof it because they think that person is just so great at spotting typos! and they're family! and stuff! and then, you know...) It's good to know it might have been corrected in the repubbed version. But I AM enjoying it, just having to squint like I do with a lot of fanfic and grit my teeth.

I haven't "met" any of the other characters yet. Looking forward to that. And I'm deeply impressed by your figuring out all the math related to the release. ;-D
