This week Bookmark Chronicles (and myself) would like to know:
This week I want to know…….
Have you ever found a typo (or typos) in books?
I have to say that I have and I found them even with my favourite authors and some of my favourite books. Also like Bookmark Chronicles I understand that people make mistakes and even technology can as well. I have also noticed sometimes when I purchase books that are written by American authors, sometimes their English is different from ours and that their terms have been left in. For example:
Colour vs Color
aluminium vs aluminum
biscuit vs cookie,cracker
Just a few examples.
Good point on different types of English! I’m reading Me Before You and sometimes some of the slang terms/nicknames take a second for me to place their meaning

It can make it really confusing sometimes!

I have found this too unfortunately- even in a popular book I read recently on the kindle, which for some reason every time the word “probably” came up it was written “prob ably”- I have no idea why this was the case, but the formatting in that book was terrible
