Mare vs. Gelding
Ok, don't know if anyone else felt a total confusion when reading "Deadhouse Gates" and there is a battle sequence in which Fiddler's horse is referred to as alternately Mare and Gelding. I found this so confusing and had to re-read. Gelding=neutered male, Mare=female.
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

i cannot believe you started a thread about this.
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Um, yes. That is correct Fist. Lucimay, I bring things like this up because they bother me. They are paying alot of people good money to catch things like this and they have failed Mr. Erikson. I say fire them and hire me. I'll read for him.

Missed that one, though that sort of thing usually jumps out at me.
Editors aren't what they used to be, which is a pity. My theory is that they are sometimes replaced by spellcheck. Not that it can't be amusing; there's a scene in one of Glen Cook's books where a character gets kicked in the groan.

Ugh, that would make me crazy. I guess I just think that anyone who is editing high profile writers should catch really basic crap like that.

I'm on book 3 of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn right now. Those books have a lot of typos. My favorite to date is when Jiriki is called Jirki. I wonder if he does crank calls?Sorus wrote:Missed that one, though that sort of thing usually jumps out at me.
