[edit] Jon?

Rickett's diary says:

Jon said, "If you have an objective, like collecting specimens, it puts so much more direction onto a trip, makes it more interesting."...Then he said, "We'll do a book about it that'll more than pay the expenses of the trip."

Does he really spell Steinbeck's name Jon? If so, there should be a [sic] afterwards; otherwise it should be corrected. Rigadoun (talk) 17:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, he does. I'm not a big fan of "[sic]": as well as breaking the flow it always looks to me like finger pointing. I'll put a comment in the markup though, how's that? Yomanganitalk 17:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
