Disney's Hercules DVD

Hello all

It has been some time since my last post - life has just been a bit hectic and has been getting in the way of the day to day things - such as this blog! My apologies and I will strive to post more often.

Today's error is courtesy of my friend Carol who came to mine last night and discovered this error on my Hercules DVD case. There is a song in the film (which we watched) called Zero to Hero and as part of the bonus extras on the DVD there is a sing-a-long version of the song - it's such a shame however, that they name the song as 'Zero the Hero'.

A small error that I doubt any child will ever notice but Carol did and it's an error that was easily avoidable by just knowing the song title properly! :-)

Hope you're all out enjoying the sunshine!

I will update with a photo as soon as I take one

Confused.com Article

Dear all - it's been a while, apologies, I've been so busy, but I have still been taking notes of all the errors I come across which have been stored on a Word document, complete with print screen shots for you :-)

However I will go against the grain and start with the most recent discovery. The error itself is in an article I was directed to from a Confused.com email I received this morning. The article was about the potential EU ruling, which may conclude that higher car insurance prices for men are sexist - don't even get me started on that!

Anyway, the screen shot I took is as follows:

The picture is huge so you can read it :) Both small errors are in the first line of the last paragraph of the article:

"If you are due to renew a motor insurance get a quote quote ahead of the 1 March ruling."

As you can see, the 'a' should ideally be 'your' and the second 'quote' is redundant and probably just an oversight.

Typing Error - BBC website

I think I'm starting to notice these errors all the time now, even without intentionally searching for them - as with this one. I was just reading a news article for the information as opposed to scouring it for errors and came across these 2 errors:

"I truly believe government is being too restrictive in his particular matter," said Robert Jackson, a Harlem Democrat. "It's a totalitarian society that's going to have this type of restrictions." See the full article here

Error number 1 is definitely a typing error as I'm sure the speaker would have actually said 'in this particular matter' rather than 'in his particular matter' as written above.

Error number 2 - I'm not sure whether this is a typing error again or whether Robert Jackson said it this way. The last sentence should ideally read "It's a totalitarian society that's going to have this type of restriction" (without an s on the end) OR "It's a totalitarian society that's going to have these types of restrictions" (which requires a few additional changes).

We will never know the answer to error 2 but I won't be losing any sleep over it :)
