Not so much publically shamed as publically proven honest. You COULD have taken my "very clever joke" forward pass and turned it into a "see, that's how clever I am" goal, but instead you came clean.

There are quite a bunch of its/it's mistakes in AN, and I cringe and groan with pleasure each time I spot one. I do tend to spot that kind of mistake; probably an advantage that comes with English being a second language to me. If you have to actually *study* that stuff, you're more likely to find phonetic faults. But I'm now seriously terrified by what Lisa said: what if AN rubs off on me?

This was either a slip of the finger or a very clever joke. ;p

Julia, out of curiosity, what made you giggle about the typeset? (I haven't seen the book). I assume that in keeping with the general theme they've somehow done it as wrongly as possible as well; I'm curious in what ways typesetting can be amusingly wrong.

Reading that manuscript has somewhat of a highway accident effect on me; you know it's not right to look and you *want* to look away but you just can't. And it keeps getting worse.

To anyone involved in that book reading this I say: Awesome work! And by awesome, I really mean awful!

The first thing this reminded me of was the fact that I have still not read Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. That's probably a bad thing, so, thank you Gerald Allen for reminding me.
