Discovery Health Typo

I just found this cringe-inducing quote over at Discovery Health:

"This position enables the penis to reach the G-spot, the part of the clitoris that extends into the vaginal wall."

!?! Yes, the clitoris is a lot bigger than the visible glans. Betty Dodson does a great drawing of the internal clitoris in this video. But the "G-spot" is not it! The "G-spot" is spongy erectile tissue that surrounds the urethra (like in the penis). No wonder women are confused about the G-spot. Get it together, Discovery Health.

For those of you who're wondering, the position they're recommending is missionary, with your hips tilted.

I read "I (heart) the Female Orgasm" and I think they say the G-Spot is part of the clitoris as well.

Sheesh. I hope not.

Hmm...I re-read that part and they sure alluded to the idea, but were vague enough to cover themselves. Something like (not a direct quote) 'unlike parts of the clitoris which are outside and more sensitive...' but then they show a diagram where it looks like the g-spot is simply near the bulb of the clitoris that is inside the body.
