Thanks to a generous gift from my daughter, I am now reading my escape fiction on a Kindle, rather than going to the library. While this is certainly more ecological, as I don't burn gas, and probably as frugal, as I rarely "buy"books, it is driving me crazy.
In the last books I read, there was a guilt-edged mirror and every fifth word was hy-phenated. It gets a little ob-noxious when e-very other word is hy-phenated and some-times the main characters' names are mis-spelled, too. Or two, to be even more in-correct.
I realize that nobody proofreads anymore, but -- really -- a fast run through spell-checker would have caught at least half of those hy-phens. I am as gilty (or my earrings are) as most of making typos, but really, now...
