Even Kaori Yuki makes mistakes...

[Shura Yukihime]

For no reason at all, other than amusement, here's what she wrote in the Free Talk section of Godchild 1:

There was a crooked man,
and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence,
against a crooked mouse.

I think she messed up the last line... it always cracks me up.  

[Momiji-Bunny]

Yeah, I just read that one last night. It was like, uh? I thought maybe it was a translater mistake or something... oh well sweatdrop  

[Kamikaze Pedestrian]

eek mistake? really?
how is the rhyme supposed to be in english? i only know it in swedish.  

[Cain_Hargreaves]

I believe 'mouse' is supposed to be 'house'. <_<;  

[Sonoshi]

well.. if it should be 'house', then it indeed sounds a bit... strange.. sweatdrop  

[Shura Yukihime]

I don't think it was a translator's mistake... I think she wrote it wrong... since it was in handwriting style, and if it was translated, I'd see it in Chinese instead of English.

Ah, but it's still hilarious and cute in its own little way... Mouse, indeed. blaugh

A lot of manga writers will make mistakes with the english language, though. One of my favorite mistakes will still be the magazine Leon was reading in Pet Shop of Horrors that was a 'playgirl' instead of 'playboy'. (For those of you that might be confused, Playboy is meant to be read by men, while Playgirl is full of sexy nude men for the women to drool over!)

Kaori Yuki hasn't made many mistakes, though, which tells me that she does try to research the english that she uses.  

[Shura Yukihime]

Which is good, of course. One mistake is always funny... but too many will make one just decide that she is hopeless. blaugh

Oh, and the actual rhyme goes like this:

There was a crooked man
and he walked a crooked mile,
he found a crooked sixpence
upon a crooked stile,
he bought a crooked cat
which caught a crooked mouse,
and they all lived together
in a little crooked house

A stile and a mouse is very different. blaugh

I think Kaori Yuki's standards of english and her reserch in general is really very high. you can tell she puts a lot of effort into her manga.
