Doesn't bother me much. I read the book for entertainment, not research .
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles

Used to. Only two writers have responded to my corrections, Lee Child, author of the Reacher series, and Brad Thor. Thor immediately got some learning and rarely makes a mistake or an exaggeration. Child blamed his on the editor.
Still hate “cordite”, “blew him right out of his shoes”, “retracted the slider, and Higgins insisting on arming his IRA thugs with .25 Colts. Maybe he uses Brandon as a ballistics expert. A 9 is bigger than a 22 so a 25 would be bigger yet?

I'm on another blog site where one of the regulars loves to post pictures of catalog covers then show how smart he is by ripping their inconsistencies!
Who gives a rip? It's a damned catalog. They're trying to sell you crap, not display perfect depictions of camp life in Colorado! LOL!
Same dude claims the produce manager in a local grocery store told him if he found rotten produce, place it on the floor. They would find it easier there!

I remember an ad in an outdoors magazine for a bug suit that featured it being worn by a rugged outdoorsman who was holding a baitcasting rod with a spinning reel mounted on it and held with the reel on top.

It don't bother me a whole lot. I just know that Hollyweird is dumb. And accept it.
Why do I have to press 1, for English?
