Grammatical and usage errors usually don't bother me until I read the book again, when I start noticing them.

i actually enjoy finding typos. it makes the author more mortal.
ive found a typo in Brian Jacques "Mattimeo." there were two birds that were relating the story to their fellow birdies, and the names of the birds got mixed up. i think they were called warbeak and razorclaw, and he put it in as warclaw and razorbeak for a few sentences.

orangecorvette Tiamatt It bothers me, but I'm even more bothered when people correct them, especially when the do so in RED PEN. Ulgh, that's obnoxious. It means I end up paying far more attention to the typos (which I normally don't notice) than to the tale! And sometimes, the corrections are WRONG.

In "Catherine and the Pirate" they completely switch the name of the character in one sentence to that of another. It makes no sense that Royce would be running his fingers through his hair if he's been kidnapped and has no Idea what Catherine is saying. (Royce should be Derick)

...I usually notice them at the second re-read. 3nodding
...It's funny, though, you just overlook them the first time, so eager (sp?) to know what'll happens next. xd
...But I usually don't mind much the errors, as most of you said, they're mostly caused by print typos. 3nodding

I usually don't care, but one time I had been waitng forever for a book to come out, then the bookstore didn't have it so I had to order it, and then I had to wait 10 days to get it, then I'm reading it and something pretty imprtant is about to happen, and then then last 50 pages start repeating!!!! I skip to the end of the repeating pages and evidently something MAJOR happened and I have no idea what it is! So I returned the book to the book store but they didn't have any other copies!!!

Typos aggravate me too.
It's almost as if they have not heard of spellcheckers.

Quotation marks are always being left out. In SOUE book the 11th it says "Sunny joined her sisters" when it should of been "Sunny joined her brother and sister."

I was reading a paperback romance that I bought for 99 cents a couple years ago. I noticed a grammar error that did not make any sense whatsoever: "She must needs return." What in the world is that all about?
This book is getting on my nerves more than most romances. If the woman is going to infiltrate the Musketeers to get revenge on the soldier who seduced her, at least give more details about the so-called harsh training. We hear that she has great pains, but we don't know what all caused that agony... Alas, this is for another thread though.

Fantasy Moon I was reading a paperback romance that I bought for 99 cents a couple years ago. I noticed a grammar error that did not make any sense whatsoever: "She must needs return." What in the world is that all about? It's archaic; it means she needs to return to wherever it was. Of course, if the author is being inconsistantly archaic, then there's a problem--that's even worse than typos.

I notice typos, but I don't pay too much attention to them. No one is perfect. When I find one, I normally just say "Hey, that doesn't belong", and keep reading.

I normally don't notice typos until I re-read because I read too fast the first time through, but sometimes I notice right off the bat.
I was reading Pet Sematary by Stephen King earlier and they failed to capitalize the main character's last name (Creed) so that confused me a tiny bit. And the only reason I remember it is because there was another mistake a few pages later, which ended up being a bit funny. The sentence was supposed to be, I assume, "They were in a natural clearing." But it was written, "They wee in a natural clearing."

I'm always so immersed in the book I don't even notice. But when I read it a second time I notice the typos and laugh.

Some typos annoy me, but mostly I just don't notice them. The ones that really annoy me are when a word is missing from a sentence or a word has been added. So when you get the the something.
