In the letter from me that the moderator included in Digest volume 9, #112, I typoed on the list of prefixes I expected to remain unused in both area codes 312 and 708. The list should have read, "219, 312, 414, 708, and 815 because part or all of the area codes bearing those same digits are in the LATA that will include 312 and 708; and 217, 309, and 618 because there are area codes in Illinois named by those same numerals." Because that started out as a letter to someone who lives in the same region and knows much of what was in it, some things in it were phrased less than fully; plus I typoed "805" for "815" (805 is an area code in California and a prefix already in use in 312) and put it in the wrong part of the list (after the semicolon, with 217, 309, and 618). Anyone who wants further explanation of some of the geographical references in it is welcome to write to me. David W.
