Silk out of time / Blushas? Grushas?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

This is the most irritating thing about RTTW, although Pig's silly voices
and the astral travel back to interfere in the plot of the TBNS are up there
too.  Several people, including me, commented upon it when the book first
came out in hardcover.  I am surprised Tor don't have the wherewithal to get
it right the first time, and doubly surprised that they don't fix it up in
the paperback.

Does anyone know if the Mint/Marble (IIRC) mix up at the end of TBLS ever
got fixed in subsequent editions?
