Doesn’t “busses” mean kisses?

I did find the jalapeno error, but only after I had them correct the word pretzel. I think I should get a pass on that one since it’s technically a foreign word.

Yeah, I didn’t really take a close look at that one before putting it in the queue, so I don’t think it will qualify. I’m pretty sure Betty sent us something else previously, though.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but buses can also be spelled (albeit more uncommonly) “busses.” http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bus

I am currently a third of the way through “The Great Typo Hunt,” a title which I would italicize if I were allowed to do so in this format. I have already found several mechanical errors in the book itself. I teach seventh grade language arts and follow the rules stated in “Warriner’s Grammar and Composition.” Would you like me to let you know the specific errors I have found in your book? One example is the use of the word “snuck” instead of “sneaked.” Another is the use of pronouns without antecedents, an absolute no-no in my classes. Again, would you like me to document more such errors, or have other readers already done so? Oh, by the way, I really do love the book.

I know it’s a hopeless case but, for anyone who has any grasp of Italian, the word “panini” is already plural (one is a panino). So, spelled right or not, “paninis” just plain hurts! Thanks for letting me vent!

But the ‘corrected’ pic has an incorrect spelling…
