Re: It's a death by a thousand cuts

In Response To: Re: It's a death by a thousand cuts (Louis Wu)


: I'm pretty sure I've never read a book with no typos in it.

: And I've read a LOT of books.

: (Well... I'm gonna exclude children's books, because the quantity of text is
: small enough that I bet I HAVE read a bunch with no typos. But if you look
: in any novel or textbook, any reference book, any non-fiction tome...
: they've ALL got typos. Frank's right - it IS pretty much inevitable.)

The first Encyclopedia suffered from more than just typos. My voluntary review for Vociferous contained about 400 errors. Those were mostly content errors, not spelling or grammar mistakes.

I'm now going through the revised Encyclopedia and I've still found a few things both spelling and content, but it's MUCH improved over the first issue.

They are getting better at it, but some errors still get through. And I've seen some firsthand.

The first entry of the Visual Guide (Assault Armor) contains a spelling error "assult" that was neither in my 2 reviews, nor in Jeremy's reviews. It was correctly spelled up to the end. It was after MS had shipped it off to DK that the typo first manifested itself. How do you safeguard against that??
