bboy_mn:

Has anyone ever check the various foriegn and domestic versions of the
books to see it this has ever been corrected? 

The problem with the quote above is that the word 'never' has such a
logical presents in Fudge's statement that I read the word even though
it wasn't there. I wonder if the copy editors did the same thing?

That's one of the problems with trying to proofread my own work. I
know so deeply and thoroughly what it is /suppose/ to say that that's
what I read whether it is actually there or not.

As, I pointed out before, the word 'never' so needs to be there that
my brain just placed it there. 

Just curious.
