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?

Okay...what do you think about Canada? How much do you know about it?
I know it's an odd question...

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

i dont know a lot about Canada all i know is that they have great maple syrup lots of hockey and they have cool accents

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

sorry if some of that is steryotipical but thats all i could think of

Mary Hiashi said...

...uhh...is that all you think of when you hear or think about Canada?

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

yes....im not that good with states........

Mary Hiashi said...

...we don't have accents...well except for the people who are from other countries, and the quebecers...and the newfies maybe...

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

ahhh sorry i havent ben outside the US

Mary Hiashi said...

We're not states. We're a country and we have provinces...not states. America has states... are there 52 now?

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

no 50 states and yes i am very bad with geography or whatever subject it is

Mary Hiashi said...

We don't totally obsess about hockey...but yes, we have some damn good syrup...mostly because it's the real stuff...but it is expensive and most people just buy the artificial stuff...

Mary Hiashi said...

50 still...that's what I thought originally but I heard something about 52...

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

lol all the real stuff is expensive

Mary Hiashi said...

And it's okay Skulgirl...At least you didn't say that we live in igloos and travel by dog sled.

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

I'm still a dream in my own fantasy,
And everytime I wake I see despair.
And I know, that I am, part of history,
But I am less than all I know.

And I fear so many things, it's true,
But I always feel safe, with you...

"Gah! So loud..."

Mary Hiashi said...

Mary Hiashi said...

Sure you are...hey did Derek comment at all on this blog?

Mary Hiashi said...

*Whispers* I can't moonwalk...I'm not very...as you'd say 'funky fresh'...

*Everyone stares* Are you from the 80's or something?

Mary Hiashi said...

Ohh...:(

He's bound to be around somewhere...
*Looks under pillow*
"Derek!"
"Derek-san!"
"Signor Derek!"
"Ni hao!"
"Konnichiwa!...Wait it's morning... Ohayou!"
"Bonjiourno!"
"Aloha."
"Allo!"
...

Mary Hiashi said...

"Bonjour!"
"Salut!"
"Ciao!"
"Olah (Skulgirl says it's Holla)"
...
"Ooh, can I call you Sensei-san?"
You'd be our writing sensei!

Mary Hiashi said...

I should just start adding suffixes to peoples names...

Thank you Kallista-chan you just gave me a great idea for a story...

I wonder what Nii-san ate today...?

Mary Hiashi said...

Kaa-chan is watching the television. And Tou-san is installing a cupboard.

Mary Hiashi said...

Oh the idea...after I write the zombie plans story will involve Derek hiding in a garbage pale with a box of Trix...he will be horrified...Or something like that...

Mary Hiashi said...

Ummm...I must be tired or something...

Mary Hiashi said...

It's 9:54pm here...My chest and part of my throat is soar...

Mary Hiashi said...

*Laughs*
Tsk, tsk...taking her time...

Mary Hiashi said...

Mary Hiashi said...

*Laughs again, rib pops out of place, shudders, rib pops back into place, shudders again, smiles*

Mary Hiashi said...

*Get's startled*
...Ah!...
*Shudders at noise*

Mary Hiashi said...

...Dear me...

Mary Hiashi said...

*Gives Kallista real Canadian maple syrup*
Drink this, it's BETTER than yorkshire pudding.

Mary Hiashi said...
