As I search the phrase, it sent me to your blog--thanks for raising the issue! Hi Deb,

I just finished reading this Sunday morning, some bible study notes that talked about the Pharaoh as the “yolk” of oppression and immediately knew it should have been yoke. As I search the phrase, it sent me to your blog–thanks for raising the issue!

The author, or whoever, mistyped "yolk" for "yoke", not vice versa ;) ‘Mistyping “yoke” for “yolk” is minor.’

As hard as I try, I've never ended up with a perfect book yet. Every book goes through at least three rounds of edits, then the layout is proofread, then the printer's proof ... And there are corrections at every step of the way. I just finished reading the printer's proof of a book that three different people had read one to three times each. On the final review of the printer's proof, I discovered we had left the Web site URL and e-mail of the publisher off the copyright page. We got that fixed, but now I'm wondering: what else did we miss? Deb,
