Dostoevksy misseppling on DJ

[Mark Braley]

If I read Michael's original query correctly, it concerned the anomaly of a 
1st ed. reversing the "s" and the "k", which wouldn't be a translation 
issue, rather I think, it is whether this apparent printing error was 
widespread and shared by all 1st editions versions and even subsequent 
printings until it was possibly corrected a few years later.  I must admit, 
the initial responses confused me and made me wonder if I had read his 
message correctly.  Did I?  Mark
