Letters subject to editing

I know that letters sent to The Jakarta Post are subject to
editing, but I never knew that they may change your idea. This is
regarding to my letter which was printed in "Your Letters" dated
Aug. 4, 1995. My original words were: "But of course, these
comments usually come from no-so-well educated people", somehow
the word "comment" was changed to "women", hence turning the idea
of my letter.

To Mrs. Brakstad, my sincerest apology. I was educated abroad,
too. My original letter was meant to show sympathy with you and
those women with bule husbands whom they really love, like you
do. Unfortunately, someone at The Jakarta Post was apparently
sleepy, and I had been out of town so I didn't even know that my
letter was misprinted. Thank you for your letter.

Note: There was no word "comments" on the particular line you
quoted in your letter. We added the word women after the word
these, thinking it was what you meant. We apologize for the
error.
