Reginald Foster - Atchison 2014“One letter can kill you!”,

Reggie says, to indicate that the entire meaning of a Latin word can change by changing one letter. Get one letter wrong and the whole meaning is lost.

Sad to say, this happened on a global scale, in the Latin title of our book Ossa Latinitatis Sola. Somewhere it was wrongly transcribed to read Ossa Latinatus Sola or even Ossa Latinatuas Sola. Three errors appeared on amazon.com in the URL, title and description of the book. These were then replicated to other national sites for Amazon in the UK, France, Japan, Germany. Sadly the German site has also demoted Daniel to “Künstler”, “Artist”.

Daniel has written to correct these, but is now beginning to realize how many book-seller sites take their information directly from Amazon, so the error spreads like an infection.

One tweeter said that the error came from the publisher’s order form, but that has not yet been found. If you can point it out, we’ll make sure it is corrected.

You may pre-order direct from CUAPress. Please download the flyer, and distribute it to others.

Please update your bookmark at Amazon.com, Amazon.co.ukAmazon.de,

You can still see the errors on Amazon.fr (in French), Amazon.co.jp (in Japanese). Perhaps someone can help us submit the corrections in these languages.
