Correcting editing mistakes

I would like to complain about some editing mistakes in my short story published in the Sunday edition of The Jakarta Post on Oct. 6, 2002.

I refer to column five, line 16: "... always out at appointments ...." The word "at" should be "on". In the same column, line 34: "... seems more suitable ...." These words should not exist.

In column 6, line 3: "... stack of haphazardly is better ...." The words "is better" were incorrectly inserted. Finally, in column 7, line 46: "... irregular dentition, tinted with a ...", "dentition" should be "denture".

In addition I found some unnecessary words were inserted within the sentences, which, in fact, make the sentences ungrammatical. I would really appreciate it if you would be mindful of these details in the second part of my story.
