Dust MOATS?!?

Pardon a brief rant. For the second time today I saw one of my favorite phrases misspelled in a published work. Seriously, authors and editors, it's mote. I can almost promise that you're not attempting to describe tactically defensive canals of dust floating in the air. Dust Motes. Okay?

    Moats - motes...I probably would have read it aloud as coats or totes or even boats...
