I hate it when copy editors change the names of minor characters. I didn't have immediate plans for this one, but now I have to double-check that she changed him everywhere...and that the name she chose was period.

I’ve never had that happen - was there a reason she changed it, or did she just get the spelling confused somehow?

That was my question too.

I'm a copyeditor, and that one gets a big "WTF?" from me. Copyeditors should not be making those sorts of changes. At most, they should query.
