to think a cbeebies magazine ought to at least be spellchecked?

[whomovedmychocolate]

DS went nutso in the shops the other day as the cbeebies mag had Chuggington trains on so I bought it.

Got it home, it had an Octonauts poster inside with stickers to stick on. Fab because DD is a real fan of the show. So we got to sticking the stickers on and there is a little note on the page saying 'please don't stick the anemone sticker on as it's spellt wrong'

Ummm where to begin.

Oh and the train wheels fell off after two minutes too.

At least they were aware of the typo and put the note in?

'spellt'

Can I go all grammar Nazi on this thread? Please?

Maybe it's an ironic "spellt"?

So did the note say "spelt" or "spellt" ??

spellt (sic)

Maybe they were torn between "Spelt" and "Spelled" so tried to get both in!

Go on, don'tcallmepeanut!

'spelt' is spelt correctly in my copy of the comic. Are you sure?

Yup. Are you in the south (different printer versions)

Well it's clearly not meant ironically then!

I'm reading a book on my Kindle at the moment and it is LITTERED with spelling mistakes. Driving me mad. It's the first book I've read on it & I will be gutted if every book is the same.

Specialsmasher- some of the free classics are littered with mistakes as they've been transposed from print for the kindle by groups of volunteers. Those you pay for should be edited as well as the print version.

Mine is spelt correctly. Am in the south.

just checked mine - "spelt" spelt correctly. Am in north.

train wheels lasted 30 secs here

Thanks cocoa - that's reassuring, as it is a free classic!

Now I feel ungrateful to the volunteers! Thanks, volunteers!
