Don't know about you, but I see at least one error in almost every book I read. My eyes seem to gravitate to misspelt words. It comes I think from proof reading too many legal documents in my working career and reading hundreds of books over a lifetime. Spellcheck even contributes to the problem (one letter off and it's still a word--just not the one you wanted), and what's worse now is that iPad tries to think even faster than you do and begins inserting letters to complete a word that you didn't intend at all. Oh the joys of the digital world!JudyMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448320253904832677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-14168703665200888332015-09-17T18:57:47.424-04:002015-09-17T18:57:47.424-04:00I've seen some mixed reviews on this one and h...I've seen some mixed reviews on this one and had even forgotten it was on my wish list until now. hahaKathy @ Kathy Reads Fictionhttp://kathyreads.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-6690548007513981272015-09-17T18:44:27.793-04:002015-09-17T18:44:27.793-04:00Brian Joseph - I enjoy both grammar and punctuatio...Brian Joseph - I enjoy both grammar and punctuation, and can never resist a new book on the topic.
