Thank you for catching that! Not sure where my eyes were, feels like it's a remnant of another version of the sentence. Removed

No problem! Same thing happens to me, where my eyes begin to gloss over things I've written (because I know what I mean to say).

Thanks for the submission!

BTW, a good technique for catching those kinds of mistakes is to read the piece out loud. Engaging more of your nervous system makes the visual elision easier to detect.
