Back and already nitpicking! Mistakes in Episode 2

Post by Moocow! »

Hey, there's a mistake in the intro:

Fred looked at the map again. "This is where it should be, he muttered to himself..."

Shouldn't it be:
Fred looked at the map again. "This is where it should be." He muttered to himself.

Yep. You are correct. I saw that long, long, after the episode was first written. So long in fact that the typo has been reproduced in so many other episodes mimicking the start of the quest. It would be sacrilege at this point to correct it.

Strictly it should be neither of the above but:

"This is where it should be," he muttered to himself.

It's a lovable typo.

It's been around for someone it WOULD be a sin to remove it. It's like taking the lean out of the leaning tower of piza.

Oh, and Jh is correct, of course.
