I'm sure you've all seen my spelling and grammer around the forum so I'm in no position to argue about it on album packaging/sleeve notes.

However regarding Anderson's lyrics, I find them very anoying.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Ah, but that is a typo in a post on a forum; it's not important. When the person proofing it wrote it, it is very easy for the eyes to play tricks on you. Simple typos like mine on a forum don't bother me, but this is an album! And not even a first pressing LP, but the version that will remain in print for a long time. Also, they have the benefit of Spellcheck :) I know I could download IeSpell, but I'm too lazy :)


I agree that an album cover or anything published is the place for spot on proof reading. I gotta tell you though that seeing these things really doesn't anger me. Rather, they usually make me chuckle. I think it's funny that a pro missed what I caught...

 on a related note it does anger me very very much when overzealous proofers CHANGE things on purpose because they think they are better than the artist. God I HATE that. In example I give Rushs album Fly By Night, on which the early compact disk reissues had "At The Tobes Of Hades" changed to "At The Tombs Of Hades". THAT really pisses me off. The gall of those damn arrogant grammatical regents!!

Haha, I was just noticing that the other day. Mine copied from the CD to my computer as "Horizon's"

I just realized that I hadn't checked my copy. It is the Definitive Edition Remaster, and it is spelled Horizon's.

Its a little irritating, but I really don't mind spellcheckers' mistakes two much on CDs as I usually find it rather humorous.

What you don't see, doesn't hurt.
I have the privilige of being a non-native English speaking person.
 
In Holland people can sing along with dirty lyrics without even realising what they are singing. The errors are minor to me.
