Yes, you are right. It's a typo... I remembered it correctly and typed it
wrong.

Yep, you have me pegged. When I was in middle school I had a librarian who
would make up a new code every few days and hand me a piece of paper with a
message written in that code. For about two years I faithfully cracked each
code. I'll never forget that librarian, and I'll never forget the frequency
tables ;->
