Yes it is, was that an insult?? I happen to be an avid reader and read several books in a month.
I have never encountered errors such as these. I'm talking about ?? (question) marks in the middle of words, almost every compound word in the book has a question mark in the middle of it. yyyy and xxxx randomly through out the book usually in the middle of a paragraph and then a new paragraph will start in the middle of a word or sentence. Words like the, him, he, it, is misspelled. Random letters in the middle of other words, usually a j, i, or l. Names mispelled. Random numbers throughout the text.
...oh for the love of god-get over yourself!...it's an honest question when there is no mention of where you're from...
Sometimes, too, that kind of odd formatting is caused by OCR software when the material has been scanned rather than directly typed which is another reason why it makes me think it could be a pirated copy.
I am just about finished reading Under the Dome and I've got to say I have never seen so many spelling and grammar errors in a book. Ever, Very Disappointing, making the book very hard to read. Not sure that I'll ever read another Stephen King
...mine has it snowing....My copy says Over the Dome.
...exactly!...I knew precisely what you meant, and I'm always a bear with a sore arse....Oh my gosh. I meant no insult. Why is it insulting if i ask that question? There are many places in the world that spell the same words differently. For instance:
British US
colour color
flavour flavor
humour humor
labour labor
neighbour neighbor
I was just wondering if these were the type of spelling "mistakes" you were referring to.
...hers only had 263 pages.....177 if you deduct the unfortunate punctuation...If I was going to pirate a book and photo copy it, I think I'd pick a shorter book than Under The Dome.
Perhaps she had to step out and forgot to come back.It looks like she has only posted twice. Once to start this thread and the second to ask if she was being insulted.
Peace.
