RShara Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I don't see a typos thread yet, so here goes. Ebook page 78. Chapter 12, second page But..., I wrote back. You've been texting me all day. Looks like there is a stray comma after But... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusiocity Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Kindle LOC: 1050 "That let my hand fall on his shoulder," seems like "that" is a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccstat Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ch 30 (kindle loc 3578) "David and Mizzy had brought extra wire climbers" should be Abraham and Mizzy. Acknowledgements (kindle loc 5835) "ininsouciant Peter Ahlstrom" --if we are trying to stick to real words, that has an extra "in," but it could well be intentional. Kindle LOC: 1050 "That let my hand fall on his shoulder," seems like "that" is a mistake. Pretty sure "that" is correct, referring to Manny's release of David's hand. Though I agree that it took me a couple times through to parse that sentence, so it wasn't the most clear construction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordofsoup Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Not sure if this was intentional or not, but Isaac $tewart in the appendix does not seem correct 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Not sure if this was intentional or not, but Isaac $tewart in the appendix does not seem correct Pretty sure the typo is that Kara Stewart isn't Kara $tewart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkness Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 This actually happens several times in the text. I counted at least 3, where there's an ellipse followed by a comma..., Is that actually a typo? I'm not well versed on that aspect of grammar...; I don't often put commas after ellipses, but I don't know if it's technically incorrect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RShara Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 There aren't very many articles about ..., but in all of the op-eds, writer blogs, grammar nazis and so forth, it's a no no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccstat Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) In all the instances I noticed, the commas following ellipses were there to set off italicized thoughts or conversations-by-mobile. If the italics are being used to denote quotes without overt quotation marks, I can see how putting a comma before "he said" would make sense in a given style guide.

Lusiocity Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Kindle LOC 1721 “Makes an chull out of you and Mer. I believe that's supposed to say "me" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mail-mi Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Kindle LOC 1721 “Makes an chull out of you and Mer. I believe that's supposed to say "me" No, it's supposed to Mer. It's a spin on the saying "you know what assuming does? It makes a chull out of you and me," except it's not assume, it's assumer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bard Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 No, it's supposed to Mer. It's a spin on the saying "you know what assuming does? It makes a chull out of you and me," except it's not assume, it's assumer. Except of course, that chull is a Stormlight term. Should it be in Reckoners? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vineyarddawg Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Except of course, that chull is a Stormlight term. Should it be in Reckoners? Pretty sure that they used "chull" as one might use "digeridoo." In other words, a filter for an actual curse word in the text. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 It's an actual filter on this site. "Badass" goes through, but remove the bad part and it turns into chull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I seriously think that 'didgeridoo' and 'koala' should be actual swear filter replacements on this site. Also, I'm pretty sure that didgeridoo is the f-bomb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashertliden Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 U.S.A hardcover first edition page 67 Quote I mean, even you people managed to snitch a few things from me... It's possible that this isn't a typo but I assume that it should have said "snatch" instead of "snitch." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embrisk Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I think "dour expression" is supposed to be "sour expression." Not sure, though, because it comes up twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Flamesinger Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) (Ebook) Is "are" supposed to be like this whenever it's italicized: *are* Edited June 5, 2019 by John Flamesinger You should play Halo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
