Reviews
The translation from Shakespeare's language to today's language was sloppy. The person who did the translation did not know the difference between "too" and "to." Although I could cite many examples, I call attention to page 16 where today's English reads "It is to [sic] serious for such a lighthearted tune." If this had happened just once or twice, I might be inclined to forgive, but over and over again? In other places, letters were dropped, such as the printed word being "he" when clearly "her" is the correct word. There are many other examples. Did BOOKCAPS ever hear of proofreading?
