Regardless, errors can result in substantial changes. But once said errors are discovered it is better to CORRECT them than to carry on business as usual
The charater 清 as you can see to the left has the "water radical" or "three strokes"... without the radical it is a different word. I missed the three strokes (understandable when you realize sifu was writing in dirt with a spear).. my mistake, but since we know it's a mistake, again, why continue it?
