ROFL

Ashlee found a typo in HP. Page 38. What's a "misty fug"???

Also: Don't know page number, but in one spot they forgot to replace the Brit term "jumper" with "sweater." They'd done it all the way up to that point, so I know it's a mistake.

HAHAHAHAHA.....Right now there's someone in Scholastic's offices having a *headdesk* moment.

Sorry to tell you, but 'misty fug' is Good English too. For us Brits, the way American is written can be just as irritating . . .

Another friend of mine corrected me as well.

I'd like to think I'm relatively familiar with British English, but every now and then something throws me for a loop.

In any case, considering they've mostly changed British terms to American ones, it seems odd to leave "fug" in there.
