Really?  But *why*?  Surely you learned the megillah many years ago,
and have read and heard it many many times since then, so how could
this error have persisted until you read RAZ's article? >>

While I don't have an answer to Zev's question I have seen several
prominent rabbis write that Modrecai was Esther's uncle.
Why such a mistake occurs against explicit verses in the Megilla I have no
idea
