I mean, in true SocMed fashion, they might like that one of their local fans is actually as vigilant of these things as you have been, brother.

Nope. They aren't journalists with a need to establish a track record of accuracy or a company that caused a gap in services. It was a typo and not one that would cause confusion in the general public. It's better to just ignore it and let it ride. If anyone addressed it with them, sure, those people need follow-up, but drawing more attention to a technical error is unnecessary. Should they mention in the correction?
