I’m still bashing myself for a typo on the first page and also that it was part of a humor bit. How lenient are they with typos?

From what I have heard, they have zero tolerance!
I have heard they send out hit teams in the rain to take care of people!
If it is raining you need to watch for people in slickers!

I emailed them about this. I also found two typos -- both unfortunately on the first page! The response was that there would be very little taken off for a couple of typos, maybe one or two points at most. And many judges give it a pass altogether.
One thing I learned. Trelby is a great free program and easy to use -- but the spell checker sucks!
