Continuity mistake: Lee makes a typo in the letter, spelling the word 'knowledge' incorrectly and Edward circles the end of the word. However as she reads the same letter, we see the word 'illuminating' is the word which has been misspelt and now the whole word is circled. Also the word was surrounded by text when Edward circled it, but when Lee is reading it, the word is at the end of the sentence with no words following it. (00:45:30 - 00:49:30)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: Just before he spanks her for the first time, he circles a letter that was misplaced in a word. Later, when he gets her to read the same letter, a whole word is circled.
