Personally, I'm just happy when the writer doesn't confuse your and you're, their and they're, anxious and eager, etc.

I generally don't cruise the net looking for sentimental tripe. If I want that, I'll pick up a romance novel at a garage sale or something. Usually those have at least had to pass the eye of a proof reader, sometimes even an editor. ;)

You mean a "spell checker".

I've found some very bad typesetting, spelling, and unintentional grammar mistakes in GOOD novels that never should have made it past the galley proofs.

You need to stop buying those pirated editions printed in Sri Lanka, Wolf. And I mean ROOF READER, not spell checker! :lol:

You know. You run spell check and it will let something like "roof reader" pass cuz its spelled right. It takes a human "pROOF READER" to catch stuff like that. ;)
