Years of reading medical handwritten notations and reading my own college notes.

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...

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.

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.

If I was going to pirate a book and photo copy it, I think I'd pick a shorter book than Under The Dome.

My copy says Over the Dome.

Pxxe??ayycXe.

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

May I ask where you got the book and how much you paid for it?

Peace.

...exactly!...I knew precisely what you meant, and I'm always a bear with a sore arse....

...hers only had 263 pages.....177 if you deduct the unfortunate punctuation...

Did you register as a newbie just to point this out? Did you check out any other copies? IMO it would be a bit silly to not read any other SK because of this. One more question, Have you read any other SK with this problem? Keep posting if you have anything else to say.

It looks like she has only posted twice. Once to start this thread and the second to ask if she was being insulted.



Peace.

Perhaps she had to step out and forgot to come back.

She maybe said to herself "I better gopher some more books from my local hijacker" um, bootlegger

Would that be the edition only?

btw, I have recent spanish versions of The Shining and It. They show two or three grammar errors and typos.
