| Get this...there was "typos" in the artwork on page 24 of the DMG, depicting a handout containing a set of dwarven runes. Using the runes on 24 of the PHB (coincedence they are on the same page number?), I translated the runes, but got three words messed up because the artist did the wrong letters.
Here is what the artwork translates to:
IF YOU WOULD PASS THROUGH THESE SACRED DOORS
ONLY GIVE PRAISE TO SHE WHO WATCHES NHAT IS BEYOND
UNLESS THPEE PRAYERS TIMES THREE YOU MAKE IN HER NAWE
NEVER SHALL YOU ENTER HER HOLY SHRINE
I just thought that was funny. Anyone else notice this? | |

| I didn't notice those.
I did notice, however, that, so far, I've noticed fewer typos in 4e material than in 3e material.
We'll see how long it lasts.
(Proviso: I am far from finished with my reading of 4e. Things may change.)

| Haven't noticed as many typos in 4e as there were in 3.x. Granted, the entry for Deathstrike (boars/eye of gruumsh/mad wraith) is in need of errata (doesn't define whether it's an interrupt or reaction).
It's also not the best sign that official errata was posted a few days after release. I'm sure there will be more errata updates over the next couple of months.
It is funny that the runes in artwork have a typo

| | As an editor, I definitely notice the typos. They need to hire me. Now. | |

| I'm not going to lie, I couldn't care less about typos in runes in artwork. I don't even consider that a typo heh.
Real typos are things that I notice as I'm actually reading the english words. | |
