More Typos I Have Known

            On page 308 of Gavriel D Rosenfeld’s 2005 The World Hitler Never Made:  Alternate History and the Memory of Nazism, we have an interesting word division.

Don’t you agree that the correct division of “rightwing” should be “right” + “wing”? 

Not “rightw” + “ing.”

Macmillan’s 2013 New Critical Essays on HP Lovecraft is full of distressing mistakes.  In all but one mention, Poe’s middle name is misspelled as “Allen"—including the index! 

In fact, the very last word of the book is wrong.  The name of HPL’s mad musician Erich Zann is misspelled “Eric.”

            It’s furthermore pretty depressing to see the pathetic word division found on page 180.  I don’t think “cowritten” is supposed to be hyphenated at the “cow”!

While anybody who's read our books from Jacobs/Brown knows that errors are inevitable, we avoid most of these types of errors by the simple cheat of NOT HYPHENATING.  Sneaky, huh?

See you Thursday for the last entry in this year's APRIL FOLLISHNESS.  You'll agree that something's a foot!
