From the original thread:

Howard Tayler:
Have you found a typo, a grammatical error, or some similar problem in the Schlock Mercenary archives?

This is the place to post your find.

It's not the place to DISCUSS your find. Just post it, post the reasons why you think that you've found a legitimate error, and let it go at that. I'll respond after researching the matter.

If you post other stuff in this forum, I will delete your post. This thread will stay on-track even if I have to lay that track through a mountain of corpses.

-Howard

I'll be more than happy to exercise the banhammer I've been given, so stay on topic, remain civil, and I won't have to wield it.

"Perhaps despite being in the accompanied by comrades-at-arms, what they'll for is not to feel so alone."

I think you had two sentences in mind? Either 'being in the company of' or 'being accompanied by' would suffice, both at once is ... muddled.

Don is 'to put on', doff is 'to remove'. You can tell because the words 'on' and 'off' are right there in them.

On 2011-09-28, Legs says, "I cant' (instead of can't) wait to tell Tagon that since he wouldn't give us a gunship, we had to steal one."

The transcript has it right, but the inked version (at least online) is still wrong.

Hoping someone still checks this thread,

Second panel Massey says " there's not much he could have done beyond yelling at me. And that would have slowed down the counter suing more than a little" To me this should say either "wouldn't" or "would not"

From Steev Ramsdell on the Schlock Facebook group:

"Is there a way to update the transcripts on some strips? In particular, I've noticed that the "sign" transcript from www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-03-06 is incomplete, trailing off to "illegible" when it isn't (last line is AASIMOVHEINLEN)"
