pet peeve: typos
I hate seeing typos in my casebooks, especially when the mistakes are relatively easy to catch, such as not capitalizing the first letter of a sentence. It irks me because I pay a heck of a lot for these books, which entitles me to pristine print. The sloppiest textbook of all time is Cohen, Varat, & Amar's Constitutional Law, Cases and Materials. Not only does that book cost $110, weigh ten-plus pounds, and have a terrible structure, but it also contains an inordinate number of capitalization omissions that the bat-blind proofreaders somehow missed. I have a little shitfit every time I see one.
Disclaimer: Do NOT point out my own typos on this blog. If, however, you find typos in the articles that I cite-check for law review, feel free to thoroughly and mercilessly mock me.
P.S. Irony = Blogger's spellchecker does not recognize 'blog.'
