I can't tell you how many times my husband has pointed out errors in G.R.R.

You inspire me to keep writing toward (creative) publication. My pet peeve is the misspelling of words, now that we write and publish so quickly. I'm as guilty as anyone, but I wish we took a few extra minutes to proof what we write. This goes for texting and messaging, too.
