Correction needed on article.

[jackiebean2017]

In the below article about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Sean martin made a very common mistake and assumed that the written word in the poem "Father and Son", 'divino', was spelled 'divina'. This is a common mistake when reading Italian cursive, where sometimes the A's at the end of a word look like O's and vice versa. However, since it is the word "divine" (which was referring to the male gender, since it is proper grammar in Italian), and this is how they would refer to God in that time (at the Vatican in early 1900s), the correct pronunciation and use would be "divino". So the puzzle can be solved normally, and the written poem is not incorrect at all. If it was typed, there would have been no mistaking the intent of the typed Italian. But cursive can often have this confusing problem when reading hand written manuscripts from 1930s Europe. It might be helpful if Sean explains this to further give some back story to the game puzzle. And it might help the readers understand this issue in later puzzles. If there was any mistake, it was probably more of an artistic mistake than a spelling mistake. But I'm personally assuming this is an idiosyncrasy of the person writing in cursive, and not just something that got by the Art Department or game design editors.
