HOIST ON OUR OWN PETARD

It was with disappointment that I read the March issue and noticed that you have spelled Marie Claire Editor-in-Chief Lesley Jane Seymour's name three different ways - her first name is spelled incorrectly in your editor's letter, then her name is spelled correctly on the first page of your piece, "How to Play the Cover Game Now!," but then her last name is spelled wrong on the article's second page. I find it ironic that this is in the same issue with an article on fact-checking. You say in the subhead of that piece that "readers don't seem to notice"...but I can assure you that this reader does!
