[edit]

there's a comma-between "funny" and "looking" that's clearly a punctuation error. Is this error originally in the source text, or should it be fixed?

Per the wikisource text:

He hadn't gone far when he met a funny, looking old man, who said to him: "Good morning, Jack." SpentGladiator (talk) 16:31, 14 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

It was a typo on our side, now corrected. The source text is at Page:English Fairy Tales.djvu/86 you can get there when clicking the page number in the left margin. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 17:07, 14 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
