Error in grammar page http://www.spanishdict.com/topics/show/76 (Present Subjunctive Regular and Irregular Forms)

The referenced page shows "dormimos" in the section "2. E to IE and O to UE stem changing -IR verbs" when it should be durmamos. Take a look at the conjugation page for dormir and you'll see.

You can click on the "Feedback" tab on the right and report it there. Moderators and members cannot make correction. Thanks for the heads-up! - Jubilado, Feb 25, 2016
Well noted, I think you are correct. The forum does not control that content, so it needs to be sent to the feedback button to the far right on the screen. :) - bosquederoble, Feb 25, 2016
Thanks Jubi and Bosque. :):) - rac1, Feb 25, 2016

I resubmitted the error and asked that it be given to someone other than Catherine.

I submitted the error to feedback, and here is the insane, nonresponsive answer I got from feedback lady Catherine:

Thanks for your email! The section you're referring to illustrates all the conjugations for "dormir" including those that do not require stem change. Before the examples, the description states, "All e-ie and o-ue stem-changing -IR verbs in the present indicative follow the same rules in the present subjunctive except the nosotros and vosotros forms where the e changes to i and the o changes to u." The nosotros form of "dormir" is correctly conjugaged [sic] as "dormimos" because the nosotros form is an exception to the O to UE stem change.

Notice that she quotes "the o changes to u" and then ignores her own findings in her conclusion.
