Call For Typos

Hmmm...

Just flicking through the books to remind myself of some details/dates, and I stumbled across a typo. I know there are a few in the books- it's kind of inevitable when the deadlines are this close together- but by the time the new paperback editions are published in April, I want all these typos to be fixed. Which is where YOU come in, my Minions.

I know that most of you have read these books a few times because you're, you know, insane and everything.  Have you noticed the typos? Can you remember where they were? There are a few glaring ones, mistakes that I just should have caught, but for whatever reason I didn't. Care to help?

"Down by the reeds
Down by the reeds
Swim the Sirens of Oakvale
Out to the seas

Down by the reeds
Down by the reeds
Float the souls left unbroken
By white balverines

Down by the reeds
Night blooming weeds
Embrace those who go dancing
In sad moonlit dreams

Down by the reeds
A twisted path leads
To banshees who breathe out
A cold winter's breeze

Nobody knows
Nobody sees
The Sirens of Oakvale
Down by the reeds"

Rant away hon.

Darkane Claw said...

It's just that she always makes me feel crap about myself like when I spell something wrong in english she goes, Oh my god, really? You spelt that wrong? And I say, It's just a typo. She just looks at me and sniggers, Sure....

And she writes songs and I play drums and if I'm trying out a new fill or beat and I mess up a bit she says, what the hell was that, or, That sounded so bad.

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Rant over.

Darkane Claw said...

I know that doesn't sound bad, but it really gets on my nerves.

Mary Hiashi said...

This isn't a quote on quote friend of yours is it?

Darkane Claw said...

It is.

Mary Hiashi said...

Doesn't sound like it to me.

Darkane Claw said...

Doesn't sound like what a friend would say?

Mary Hiashi said...

No, doesn't sound like a friend.

Darkane Claw said...

I know. It's like she's always putting me down and then when she gets something wrong in maths and I help here figure it out she's like she says thanks and I say, don't worry about it. But if I get something wrong, she just looks at me and when she explains it I say oh right I get it now and she just sniggers and looks at her own sum.

Darkane Claw said...

Really sorry to be bugging you with this stuff, Mary.

Darkane Claw said...

I have to go to bed now. Thanks for reading my annoying comments Mary.

NIGHT ALL!

Mary Hiashi said...

Why do you hang out with her? Exactly.

Mary Hiashi said...

Goodnight Darkane. You didn't bother me, if I can help...or at least listen. I'm more than happy to.

Mary Hiashi said...

I'll be gone for a few...
Toodles!

Mary Hiashi said...

It's a place where you can ask and help answer stuff. Like if you have different symptoms...

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

Mary Hiashi said...

Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at.
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
'cause everything else is obsolete.
Now a square with a horn,
can make you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
and with a square in the act,
he can set music back
to the caveman days.
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
but a cat's the only cat
who knows how to swing.
Who wants to dig
a long-haired gig
or stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat.
A square with that horn,
makes you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
and with a square in the act,
he's gonna set this music back
to the Stone Age days.
Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat's the only cat
who knows where it's at;
while playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat,
'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.
Everybody digs a swingin' cat.

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

OMG! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER!?!?!??!? i LOVE that movie!

Liz said...

Mary Hiashi said...

No...I've never heard of it...

Liz said...

Mary Hiashi said...

The original Mummy? The old one I mean.

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

Mary Hiashi said...

No...I was responding to Skulgirl. Hell yes, I've heard of the mummy. I'd say that I'd be a bloomin' nutter not to know what the mummy is.

Liz said...

Liz said...

Mary Hiashi said...

I...I don't think it's even possible to go through life without knowing what the mummy...I'll be lenient to those in the early 1900's and back.

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...
