The irony in the title of this post is classic. I actually chuckled out loud. Thank you, I needed that today.

Ah, grammar. The difference between knowing your s*it, and knowing you're s*it 
For those with a grammar Nazi persuasion, I'd say 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' is the book for you

Me too - and I'm the one who started it! (I did go back and edit it - nearly immediately - but it didn't "take") But this is exactly my point! It's humiliating when I make an error for the world to see - but I have to be able to laugh at myself or I'll miss out on too many good laughs.
It is true than many e-books very clearly have not had the services of a good editor and/or proofreader. This could have been the author instead of a professional, but apparently he/she didn't have the skills & didn't hire the pro.
BTW I would like to know if it's OK to note errors and to whom the note could be sent. I remember highlighting some in Deco For Divers print edition too. All were typos, not errors by the author as I recall (it's been like 4 yrs).
I'm not an English major but I've edited & translated for decades ;-)
