Nathan Feld answers “I found a grammatical error in this book....”

Alexander Desmarais asked this question about Hatchet (Brian's Saga, #1):

I found a grammatical error in this book. I thought it was odd. did anybody else come across grammatical errors during this amazing book?

Nathan Feld Yes, there are multiple mistakes in this book, most of which point out a poor grasp of the English language. They are completely unavoidable mistakes,…moreYes, there are multiple mistakes in this book, most of which point out a poor grasp of the English language. They are completely unavoidable mistakes, most likely meaning the book was self-published, though I cannot say for sure. If it was looked over by an editor, I do not think they did so effectively.

Yes, many books have grammatical mistakes, but this book contained grammatical errors that show ineptitude, not merely a small, looked-over mistake.(less)
