Typo - you want "vale of tears", not "veil".
(I'm now on record with several comments like this one. Please let me know if they annoy. It's a quirk of mine that egregious misspellings bias me toward thinking less of the writer and the writing, but it seems to be a widely shared one.)
Tip: You could pm the people about the error. No need for a permanent public record for trivial mistakes.
Yeah, when something is in the permanent public record, everybody notices...
Well at least this was to a different person. Changing default behaviors is incredibly difficult. Nicely done though :)
Strictly speaking, "veil of tears" is not egregious, but I do generally like to be corrected when I make errors of that kind.
