| + | I'm not sure the most recent additions to the errata list (four dots instead of three) can be counted as 'proper' errors. The ellipsis has always been one of Pynchon's favorite rhetorical devices, and the way I see it, the number of dots simply signifies how large the ellipsis is meant to be. Gravity's Rainbow is full of ellipses with both three and four dots, and this shouldn't be considered an error, IMO. Unless anyone objects, I'll remove the four/three dots-entries in a day or two.

There's a "that" which should be "than", as well as a missing quotation mark, somewhere in the first 800 pages, but I was too foolish to note where I found them. Don't I feel like a schmuck. BlakeStacey 16:42, 2 December 2006 (PST)

How do you think I feel mistyping the line for an error right in front of me?
(Thanks for the catch, Bleakhaus!)
I have all sympathy for Penguin (as long as they correct 'em.) This must have been a bear to proof, and perfection is not given to mortals... monte.davis 04:25, 3 December 2006 (EST)
