We’re getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that’s a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google.
then why does it seem like both the privacy policy and the terms of use are still too long to read?

What the fuck? How does someone even…?
No, I haven’t seen anything like that so far. o__o
Anyway, I sent the publishers off an email to their feedback system with a complaint. I was like, “I hope you’ve already fixed the problem, but if you haven’t, I’ll gladly send you either a list of all the mistakes and their page and paragraph numbers, or I’ll send you my own copy with the mistakes corrected.” I used big phrases like “high caliber” and “I hope this was the only exception” and… okay those might have been my only big phrases, and maybe the word “omitted” and “riddled,” so I guess they weren’t really big phrases at all.

do all the mistakes spell things when corrected?

It never happened to me but my Language Arts teacher mentioned that she’s read books with spelling mistakes and some grammar errors so yeah, I guess it can happen

I think you should, just for the passive-aggressiveness of it. Even if you don’t get anything back (you should get a letter though if that editor considers him/herself respectable) I think it’s worth a shot.
@Johnny:
If you mean do the mistakes still make words? Yes. But either the wrong words (ie, “of” instead of “if”), or doubled words (and not like “had had” where it makes sense to have two, but double words where there aren’t actually supposed to be double words, or sometimes even a word missing from the sentence.
@Roxy:
I can totally see myself doing this and not even receiving my book back. And then I’ll be like “…” But omg, just for the passive-aggressiveness.

Tumblr, I have a question.
I have this novel, and there are quite literally a million and one grammatical errors in it. Okay, I am actually exaggerating by saying “a million and one,” but the reality is, I’m not even a quarter of the way through the book, and I’ve found at least twenty mistakes. At least. Minimum. Now, I’m accustomed to finding some type of error in every single book I have ever touched - which does annoy me, as there is someone getting paid just to edit each one of these books, although I know human error does occur - but the number of mistakes I’ve found in this novel is now at a ridiculous point and I don’t understand why nobody bothered to look it over before publishing and selling it. It’s seriously bothering me while I’m reading it. So, uh, if I were to take a red pen to the book, and correct all of the errors within, and then pack it up and ship it to the publisher along with a letter, what do you think would happen, if anything? Would they send me back a newer, hopefully edited and updated, version of the novel? Would they send me an apology letter? A refund? Or would nothing come of it at all except me losing a book? I’m curious if anyone’s had any experience with a book with this many grammatical errors and with this much frustration. I want to know what you’ve done about it, what happened, or just what your opinion is. No sassing or mocking me - I don’t need your snark. I just want to know what the best course of action besides “just dealing with it” or “pay for the book a second time” would be. I’m posting via email, so if the reply function isn’t enabled, just post a reply in my ask box. Thanks, Tumblr!
