Only the brave try to amend these errors.

I changed emend to amend, because emend is typically used for corrections in written form, and only has an intransitive use; whereas amend has a transitive use with a meaning to change or modify for the better.

You're right, I was confused for the moment. I still think amend is the better word choice, however.
