I'm not allowed to talk about most of it in public because of my contract verbiage. But toys for toes is a pretty good one :P Oh, wait... I did catch someone's boobs giggling (supposed to be jiggling) in a book I beta read for fun. I spewed coffee out of my nose. It burned. If only boobs could giggle :)<br /><br />WRITE ON!Jo Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005237887461809640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-46612294848764304682014-01-30T04:31:16.916-05:002014-01-30T04:31:16.916-05:00I've just been chuckling at the comments (knic...I've just been chuckling at the comments (knickers, wangs, dicks... I'm sensing a theme here). <br /><br />I actually can't remember any specific errors so I'm guessing they weren't that amusing, though I know I've come across plenty.Kelly.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16093714660731085606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-47619207660556811112014-01-30T01:23:11.388-05:002014-01-30T01:23:11.388-05:00He pushed back her loch of hair.

I'm currently exploring some new techniques to significantly reduce this. <br /><br />I can't think of anything in particular that made me laugh. I'm so often either confused or annoyed, but I know it's happened. krystal janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115542477066959046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-10930570316882838492014-01-29T13:36:26.282-05:002014-01-29T13:36:26.282-05:00I'm a pretty good proofreader for other people...I'm a pretty good proofreader for other people, but I have trouble catching my own errors. I think it's because we know what it's SUPPOSED to say, so that's what we see.<br /><br />I see all kinds of errors in books, most of them not really funny. But I saw an ad for a house for sale, and it said it had a "huge dick".

I have trouble imagining that sound. The soft whisper of them hitting the floor?<br /><br />My own personal best (which I corrected) was, "I didn't have time to bandage his wang."<br /><br />Um... that should have been WING.
