Oh and this post reminds me of something that has been on my bug list for a while and I always forget aobut : when you get a new pm on mfc, the little popup window says: "You're latest pm blablabla..." . It should, of course, be "Your" and not "you're"

Just in case someone can change that :fisch: It physically hurts my eyes every time that I see it pop up on my screen :naughty:

 

I asked about this ages ago :aah: - in the end I just switched off the alert in user options so that it couldn't annoy me any more :naughty:

Thank you for that Mary:wink2:

It's beautifully set out, I like the hippo:naughty:

And the front inside cover, the hidden faces, VERY clever.

I've been wracking my brain to think why Lady Janes structure is so famililar, and it just hit me! Hilaire Belloc! I loved her poems as a kid!

Why does it say three songs on the front cover?

 

This must be for the DOWNLOAD only. (That one does not contain Toy Boy).

The booklet for the actual EP will be different, I think :wink2:

SPELLING

ERROR.

 

 

"YOUR a stressed out single mother"???????

 

 

HONEST TO GOD, MIKA.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE HIRE ME AS YOUR EDITOR!!!!

 

IT'S "YOU'RE" BECAUSE IT'S A CONTRACTION ON "YOU" AND "ARE"!!!!!!!

 

 

End rant. :mf_rosetinted:

 

OMG the "your". :aah:

 

Sorry I just had to come here and say that. :teehee:

 

I know, I saw it too!! Grr!! When Twitter comes back online I'm gonna tell him off lol!!!

the artwork looks great so far! I REALLY like it.

 

I adore the b/w drawing with mika at his piano and all the city view. the others are pretty great too.

 

how cool is the little rotating crying frog in the middle of screen, while page loads?! priceless. :mf_rosetinted:

 

I wonder how toy boy's artwork will look like.. :teehee:

had never noticed that :biggrin2:

 

That means Mika personally wrote down the lyrics and no one dares to contradict him:naughty:

:naughty: aren't we a great bunch!

 

btw... love your Mika counter... it also involves your other love! (the other M!) :teehee:

 

Yes, thanks! My fave, Sorcerer Mickey :wink2:

 

Why does it say three songs on the front cover?

And 'you're' is spelt wrong in Lonely Alcoholic. They've spelt it 'your'.

 

 

Yes, the 'your' is wrong. In several places, in Blue Eyes, too.

And so is the 'who's' in Lady Jane -- it should be WHOSE.

 

And they're missing some apostrophes.

 

I'm not a fault-finder, really, but I do a lot of proofreading in my job,

so I can't help it... And the typo IS the very first word you see in the booklet

lyrics, so it jumped out at me. Sorry, Mika!

 

I really do love the illustrations, though. :wub2:

I have looked and I can't find the template for that -- it bothers me as

well. Believe me, I will change it just as soon as I can figure out where it

is. :thumb_yello:

Yes, neither am I, but these things just jump at one like you say, and I find that it's a real shame that a piece of work of such quality is tainted by these silly typos.

Oh thanks a lot Deb! :wink2: I keep forgetting to mention it and this reminded me of it
