The last issue of PUT had some typos that more than one reader has brought to my attention. I've even been asked by several, including my lovely wife, if we proof read our magazine before we print it. Shazam! You mean I gotta read it first? :)
As many times as we re-read the magazine drafts trying hard to catch them all, there will always be mistakes. Sometimes we don't catch them until we get press proofs but unless it's an advertiser or a mistake that could cause harm, it's cheaper to just let them go and take the heat.
I'm going to put a "special" typo somewhere in the February issue and the first person to email me about it will win a PUT hat.
How are we gonna know what the planned and un-planned typohs are?:D I for one don't mind the typeohs. It just reminds me that everyone is human.

I'll second what OC Campers said. Dave if you want to see typos I'll send you a copy of our local newspaper, I think you would have to try hard to beat their number of typos per issue.
Don't feel bad Dvae. I find typos in books by major authors.:)

I don't feel bad, I just want to have some fun with them.
Our first editor, Maurice, misspelled the publisher's name in our premier issue back in 98. I caught that one after it printed and paid to have fixed and reprinted.

Oh, man! I never have time right away to get to the magazine cover to cover, so this might take me a day or two. I like to make it last.
The article on page 6 is missing a the word "as" in one of the sentences. You should fire the guy.
February issue?? Since when does PUT come out every month?? We just got one in January... LOL!
Could that have been the typo??

that sounds like fun for those who get their magazine...I finally got mine today...a week later than most.
DH is really into the typo thing I say who cares. You're only human
Hey Ray....Great stuff on our wonderful state. but you didn't mention Ca. has the best Karaoke singers :yikes: that Golf game looks cool that you reviewed too.

He can't fire the guy. The magazine would be way too lean if he did! ;)

We're trying to catch up for last year's late issues. Everybody will have 2 extra issues added onto their subscriptions.

Now that everyone (including myself) has been singing Ray's praises about his great writing (FINALLY something about California!!!!), someone needs to break out some pictures of his karaoke sessions at Pismo last June! You know, the "we knew him when" pictures.:p
Hey, can I have my hat now?
The thread was started as "Tiepohs"
The proper spelling in the dictionary is "Typo"
Can I, Huh?

It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule;
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore wee rote with checkers
Hour spelling was inn deck line,
Butt now when wee dew have a laps,
Wee are knot maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier;
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud;
And wee mussed dew da best wee can
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
That's why eye brake in two averse
Cuz eye dew want too please.
Sow glad eye yam that aye did bye
This soft wear four pea seas
