Just a typo, don't take it TOO seriously. :-)
As an aside, I believe it's possible to add grain that looks very natural. The
Grain Filter in PS has a Gaussian option
and some adjustability. One may go further by scanning a blank portion of the
film the grain of which one wishes to
emulate, then add it as a layer in an image editor.
Either approach generally works better if applied at full size, before the
image is resized for print/web. Get it
looking right at original size, then when downsized, it will look like images
with inherent grain that have been
similarly downsized.
Personally, I'm not generally a fan of grain. There are times when it works for
me, but they are far fewer than the
times it doesn't.
