I've read critically acclaimed books with errors, so it is nice to know we are all human.<br /><br />I can look past a few errors and even odd stylistic choices. But I can't stand inconsistency.<br /><br />I read a book recently where a character was Mollie for one whole chapter before becoming Molly for the rest of the book. Crazy and confusing.Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-62252407850089984952011-07-09T08:42:14.683-04:002011-07-09T08:42:14.683-04:00It is so, so true: errors found in printed books m...It is so, so true: errors found in printed books make you doubt the ability of the author or the truth of what they write. But sometimes those errors are inserted by the editors or typesetters -- accidentally. Still, it does leave a bad impression.<br /><br />I find it happens a lot with Kobo e-books. I think it has something to do with the conversion process (though I'm still stunned as to how that could be the case with technology today).<br /><br />Oh, and I had to read and reread Safire's points several times just because they're so witty! Thanks for sharing them. ;-)Lisa Carterhttp://www.intralingo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-65078156016271285882011-07-08T16:26:28.324-04:002011-07-08T16:26:28.324-04:00My favorite K ladies!

Paid extra to fix so we could sleep at night. ;-)<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend.

Tia does this right) or spelling gaffes.<br /><br />For goodness sakes, if a writer (or purported writer) can't be bothered to give their blog post or magazine article a quick run through the grammar & spellchecker before their own re-read of the piece prior to posting/publication, why should I rely on what they say? What if their facts are also just a little bit off?<br /><br />Pet peeve = typos in printed books! (Oh, gosh, I hope I don't pull a blooper in my writing any time soon...)<br /><br />**Katy M<br />Recommending YA books beyond the bestsellers at http://BooksYALove.blogspot.com<br />Follow me on Twitter @BooksYALoveKaty Manck, MLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271516779182899993noreply@blogger.com
