To ask you if you can see what I’m seeing?

Lighthearted - I’m reading my book and there’s a sentence that just doesn’t look like the rest 😂

third line down “that’s another thing she hadn’t imagined when she’d”

appears as all one line doesn’t it? With no spaces? Or the spaces on the rest of the page look normal compared to that sentence.

are the spaces missing? Or not?

I see it.

Yes, it's a printing error. I read a book last week and there was the word " imput" when the correct word was " input".

I think it’s because of the justification of the line of type-there are four apostrophes making it much harder to split words into the next line. Looks like it’s been squashed together instead.

Sorry three!

Plus indenting for a new paragraph gives you even less space.

It's not a typo or printing error, they are simply using the old English word that'sanotherthingshehadn'timaginedwhenshe'd.
It's kind of fallen out of popular usage in recent years which is why you've probably not come across it before.

It's the justification tool as @Funcamper says. It's the minimum possible spacing without breaking it up. If the word 'she'd' been on the next line there would be 5 extra spaces in that line and look quite spread out.

yes the spaces are missing

I can see it. thingshe...

My Mum once read a book, thinking it was just hard work and she wasn't in to it.

Turns out the pages were in the wrong order 🤣

I think Dickens used that one a lot didn't he, so it's not that old. You still see it in legal documents, along with hereinafter, hereinbefore, heretofore and inasmuch. 🙂

Oh, I hadn't moved further than thingshe 🤣

Sorry but I’m more surprised that they’d print that rubbish. That story looks boring

I read a book once where the character’s name suddenly changed half way through, something like Declan then Derek.

Yep proofing error and one which is probably harder to see at proof than at press.

Nothing goes out without some kind of proof error - when DD was going through a stage of wanting everything to be perfect I went through her 100 anniversary Alice in Wonderland book to prove that even that had minor proof errors

I don't think it's an error as such, I think it's intentional to keep the paragraph justified. But ideally they should've amended it as it doesn't look good. The kerning is too high. There are spaces between the words, just very very small.

The kerning or spaces btw words are off

Less space between words than other sentences - printing error

🤣 I was reading one recently, it was a series... Next book the spelling of the daughter's name had completely changed! You think you'd know your main characters.

It just cracked me up that Mum preserved with this book, reading a few pages at night and thought she was going batty 😂

Of course she didn't preserve it. It wasn't that good 🙄

Unless you're out of breath. I've heard of some people using the phrase upon finishing marathons.

I Found You by Lisa Jewell.

That would explain why I'm so familiar with the word, Dickens is one of my favourite authors.

You missed out: insofar and forasmuch!

It’s a typesetting error. Nothing to do with printing.

What book is it?
