Eh, commas are tricky. Many people will argue that what they had was correct, while others will say that it's not.

And I don't mind errors in books, as long as there aren't many. Really, no one can catch everything. There are thousands and thousands of words in there! And everyone has different views on commas.

Besides, it's fun to find the errors in books.

But if I found millions, I'd get out a red pen and fix it.

There is a restaurant near my house that has a "Help wanted" sign in the window.

It looks like this:


Help Wanted
Apply To Day

I saw something similar in my city. 'course, it wasn't really in English, but when you translated it from Polish, it would turn out to be something along those lines... It was there, for a few days, and then someone crossed that out with a pen (the whole not was printed, mind you) and made a correction.

And "Europeans" as "europeans". In the newspaper. In an obituary of some politician, to be exact.
