Default Non-sticky thread to report typos

I'll try updating the first post every once in a while to include all reported typos, in numerical order.

Typos noticed:

# 142, 9th panel, the one with Belkar: Nale says "psycopath" (rather than "psychopath").
# 147, first panel: Redcloak says "It's called a phylacetry, and no, you can't"
# 331, last panel: "Ginkgo bilboa" (should be "ginkgo biloba").
# 377: "Oh, Sabine, is it nice to see a familiar face."
# 435: "Can I say 'yes' stongly enough?"
# 473: "I ran out of my own healing about six disembowlement threats ago"
# 484: "He's no match for my two of my ninjas alone."
# 486: "But she's marrying his nemesis, Phillippe, tommorrow!"
# 495: "I know you don't understand, but there was a time when him and I were happy together." This should be "he and I".
# 502: "Or until you get finally get killed."
# 530: "I can't take the euphamisms anymore!"
# 569, panel 11: "And that's what you get for not reigning him in earlier" - you mean "reining him in".
# 572, panel 2: "respository" instead of "repository"[/url][/quote]
# 574: "Discrete" (it should be "discreet" instead)
# 577, 2nd panel: "sustanable" should be "sustainable".
# 604: "should't leave"
# 617, panel 8: "may the gods of forgive me."
# 623, last row: "I must not engange in any demanding mental tasks".
# 633, 4th panel: "Haerta" is missing the "T". It's a name so it's not immediately obvious, but every other mention of her name has the "T".
Also, in the 5th panel, "arcane" is misspelled as "arane" in the... er, purple fiend's dialogue.
# 639: "Telekinisis."
# 643: 19th panel (or the ninth panel in the second half), "Greysky" is misspelled as "Gresysky".
# 654, 1st panel: "Sunburst" is misspelled as "Suburst".
# 657, 13th (2nd-to last) panel: "phalanges" is misspelled as "phlanges"

Potential typos:
# 372: 5th panel, Redcloak: "cajones" -> "cojones" (it's also in the "War & XPs") - argued by others to be legitimate euphemism.

Not a typo:
# 597: "Rock on, self buddy" thought by some that it should have been "Rock on, elf buddy". But it was intentionally written that way, as indicated by Giant in http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showt...91#post5022191

# 633 - Fourth panel, "Haerta" is missing the "T". It's a name so it's not immediately obvious, but every other mention of her name has the "T".

Also, in the fifth panel, "arcane" is misspelled as "arane" in the... er, purple fiend's dialogue.

# 643 - Ninteenth panel (or the ninth panel in the second half), "Greysky" is misspelled as "Gresysky".

# 654 - First panel, "Sunburst" is misspelled as "Suburst".

# 657 - Thirteenth (Second-to-last) panel, "phalanges" is misspelled as "phlanges"

@author of the topic or some moderator
maybe you should consider updating the list in the first post so it's more convenient for Giant. Checking whether the report is valid and keeping it in chronological (of strips, not of reports) order would be also nice touch.
I was going to start a topic and do just that, unfortunately someone ninja'd my idea. Anyway, if you need a volunteer for maintaining such list, I could do just that.

EDIT:
@Aris Katsaris
Wow, now the thread's nice and nifty, keep up the good work :)

@down
My dictionary didn't have that. Nice to know, thanks ;)

"Cajones" is an euphemism for cojones, and in the context, it can be a double pun (cajones=drawers [furniture] in Spanish vs. drawers=underwear in English [the only item O'Chul has at the time]).

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0331.html last panel, "Ginkgo bilboa" (should be "ginkgo biloba"). Unless it's a pun, but if so, it's a rather poor one

Done. It's not the first post, but the original poster can always edit it to quote this one.

377: "Oh, Sabine, is it nice to see a familiar face."
435: "Can I say 'yes' stongly enough?"
484: "He's no match for my two of my ninjas alone."
486: "But she's marrying his nemesis, Phillippe, tommorrow!"
495: "I know you don't understand, but there was a time when him and I were happy together."
530: "I can't take the euphamisms anymore!"
574: "Discrete" (though it probably should be "discreet")
617: "May the gods of forgive me..."
639: "Telekinisis."
643: "She's in Gresysky City."
654: "Suburst", "Than what am I?"
657: "Phlanges"

Dunno if previously reported, I've not been around here long.

#147, first panel: Redcloak says "It's called a phylacetry, and no, you can't" -- I believe the spelling should be phylactery.

It looks like a joke about speaking cute to pets. Notably, he uses intelligent speech rather than stupid no capitals speech that he normally uses.

# 577 - Second panel, "sustanable" should be "sustainable".



Also, now is probably as good a time as any to re-emphasize the second typo in # 654. It's in the ninth panel; "Than" should be "Then". Defiant had in his quote, but it hasn't yet been added to the compilation in the first post.

9th panel, the one with Belkar: Nale says "psycopath" (rather than "psychopath").

[also, can someone clarify if the typo in 331 I mentioned earlier is supposed to be a pun, or mistake?]

This is an expression. Relief phrased in the form of a rhetorical question.

Although you have this in the 'Not a typo' section, your phrasing still implies that you disagree with the Giant's confirmed position. Might I suggest you say something like "...when some people think Belkar ought to have said..."

As a native Spanish speaker, I would like to point out that cajones is in fact "drawers" like the kind you would find in a table.

I should know, seeing as my mother in law once made the mistake of saying to the carpenter

"Ellos cojones son demasiado grande!"

"Those *naughty bits* are too big!"

when she meant to say

"Ellos cajones son demasiado grande!"

"Those drawers are too big!"

I don't think that's a typo - that's an actual common phrase in some dialects

In strip 13, Elan says "we will strike down the Xykon"... Is this intentional, or a typo?
