Oh my goodness, are you seriously upset over a letter difference in a word. That is the most petty thing i have ever read. It was written by a human. Humans make mistakes. I trust this site. I do not trust it any less because someone typed the wrong letter. This is not a grammar contest, its a help site. Get a grip.
