Sadly the fan who asked about dreams in the Letters Section of Annually 2021(Literally 47) has had their name missed out and the space has been left out after the previous question.

100 lyrics and a poem is a disaster regarding its structure.

Cool, thus not all of us are inside the realm of obscure anonymity.

There may be other errors, but there's a glaring one on page 58 of Volume after the words "innocent image" where I imagine a comma was intended.
I'm grateful to the Boys for each and every venture and product by the way, this thread is in that context. There's so much to enjoy that is spot on and brilliant!

I haven't got that far yet with Literally, but I will say that Volume has a number of errors, more factual than spelling.

Dammit Sandy, I just spent five minutes looking for stray apostrophes! But yes, that is quite a pretty and witty blooper. :lol:

Really? That is disappointing, if unsurprising.
