Yeah, I agree factual errors are bad!<BR/><BR/>Hey Alice! Glad we shared the same thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Hi Gautami! I agree that the editors should put in much more efforts in editing school textbooks to ensure the students to learn correctly. <BR/><BR/>Hi Heather! Oh yes, I definitely gree with you on that!<BR/><BR/>Hey Kathy!!! I hope you have a great day today! I think being a writer is tough, but being a good editor is tougher! LOL.<BR/><BR/>Hi Diane! I think editors must have seen a dozens of manuscripts a day that they will bound to skip one or a few mistakes, hehe... I know I will get crossed eyes if I do that, LOL. <BR/><BR/>Hi Pussreboots! I do understand if the mistakes are nothing major. <BR/><BR/>Hi Deb! Now that you mentioned it, now I do recall about a book I read recently about a character whose name is Ella and yet it was printed Emma. <BR/><BR/>I hope everyone has a great weekend ahead. :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-21457532715586914152007-10-19T05:56:00.000+08:002007-10-19T05:56:00.000+08:00My sister's favorite example?

I don't remember any that were so glaring that I could be that specific, but they do occassionally interfere with my reading (especially if the error is a name in the story). I always wondered why I catch the errors and not the editor before the book was printed.
