Bugs - Fitzgerald's Tales of Jazz Age - LADEN WITH ERRORS! help!
I JUST joined DailyLit yesterday. Got my first installment today. Fitzgerald's Tales of the Jazz Age. THERE ARE PUNCTUATION and LAYOUT ERRORS! Mr. Fitzgerald would be VERY upset. The most glaring example is in the very last line of the excerpt sent to me: "His mind was working persistently on a problem that had held his
attention for an. The Jelly-bean had been invited to a party."
For "an" what?! And there was this wonderful period that someone stuck into to paragraph 5:
"remembering Jim's. mother"
I've read Fitzgerald extensively....if DailyLit is going to offer these works, they need to be presented in proper form, as they appeared in print.
