spelling error in dark journey! (no spoilers)

they spelled kyp durron's name "kip" on page 283, third line down! how could they miss that?!

 

hahahha i noticed that too i thought i was the only one

 

I have heard a lot of people mentioning that they noticed that. It's a common problem for authors when they have a character with a name similar to one that actually exists. For example, in one of fantasy author Tad William's series, there is a character named Josua. At least twice it is typo-ed "Joshua".

 

they also spelled zekk's homeworld 'ennta' instead of 'ennth'

Ha, all the more not to make fun me for spelling.

 

i haven't made fun of your spelling... yet

~NiKe SKyLaRK~

 

All the more 'what', Chissdude?

 

hehe... hey chissdude... i think your grammer is being made fun of this time

~NiKe SKyLaRK~

 

Pardon me, "at, my spellin"

 

aww... poor chissdude's being picked on... *glomp*

~NiKe SKyLaRK~

nike's glomps always make people feel better...

 

Its cool, and without me, who would be the guy picked on?

 

i think i'm the only one who noticed that on the back cover of SBS they say the Jedi are fighting the empire. check it out.

 

Oh, there's a lot of errors in the first prints of SW books.
One that comes to mind is EoV I: Conquest, there is one part that refers to Anakin being surprised that his astromech droid, Fiver, could successfully pilot his "X5" X-wing (even though it was explicitly said to be an XJ X-wing earlier, so yes it is a real error)
Lol, so where can I find these X5 X-wings? I coulda sworn the most recent ones were the XJ3s (lmao)

 

Don't even get me started on punctuation in EoVII. Ugh.

On my copy of SBS it says"In the shadow of the treacherous enemy, the Jedi Knights reach their darkest hour...". No mention of the Empire.

On the other hand, if you want typos, check out the timeline in the front of SBS.

3 years after ANH : SW Ep,I The Empire Strikes Back

4 years after ANH: SW Ep.I, The Phantom Menace

And as far as Kyp/Kip goes. I didn't even notice it until someone here pointed it out.
I guess editing is becoming a lost art.

 

How about "Tenel Ta" in Jedi Under Seige?

or "...use the force" in Conquest?

or "most fiercest battle" on the back of Rebirth. Is that proper grammar?

 

It also says "for for" early on. But hey, like I care

 

i know, its not exactly like your reading experience is marred by a misspelling.

Though Its interesting to see them, I'm not having a go at pointing out errors- I do when I see them. But some people have a full nut @ the editors and writers. why bother??

 

because some feel they have to complain



I see it this way. Which is more annoying, a few spelling errors or a novel full of people saying "point" and snorting?

 

sorry, but the most glaring spelling error is on the acknowledgements page where my last name is spelled Espenchied instead of Espenscheid.

that's quite a last name you got there... mine's 'black'... short... straight to the point... it's a color. no one's spelled it wrong yet.

there were quite a lot of spelling errors in sbs... but then 606 pages is a lot to proofread...

 

I've found grammar errors in Lord of the Rings. Probably because I've been doing so much grammar in English lately.

 

"On my copy of SBS it says"In the shadow of the treacherous enemy, the Jedi Knights reach their darkest hour...". No mention of the Empire. "
Whoops! i meant the inside part. uh, you know the cover flap thingy where it tells you about the story? on the inside back-cover.
