I just accidentally turned two pages at once in a book, and read what appeared to be the following line:<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\u2026swindle a Texan balcony of her mansion\u2026<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
(Hustlers & Con Men<\/cite>, by Jay Robert Nash, pages 311 and 314. The page break is after the word Texan<\/i>.)<\/p>\r\n
I was going to call this accidentally-turn-an-extra-page-but-it-still-sorta-makes-sense phenomenon a turner<\/i>, but then I realized that I more often run into this kind of thing when I accidentally skip a line on a page, reading directly from the end of one line to the beginning of the 2nd line following. So I\u2019ll call such items skippers<\/i>.<\/p>\r\n
And misprints count, too, in the case where a book is accidentally missing a line of text but the juxtaposition of one line\u2019s end and the next line\u2019s start makes sense or is amusing.<\/p>\r\n
I welcome contributions of skippers that you run into.<\/p>\r\n
(For this kind of thing, I would normally also welcome made-up examples, but I feel like that might be too easy in this case. But certainly I welcome examples where you didn\u2019t really skip anything but where it would be amusing if you had.)<\/p>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games","category-misreading"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18181"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18183,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18181\/revisions\/18183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
