damn it, it's the 11th edition, these kinds of mistakes should not be appearing

Granted I'm not exactly an authority when it comes to spelling and grammar (case in point: when writing up my group's poster board in mediation the other day, I had to ask Jason and Adam how to spell "irresponsible". Not that I didn't know how, but sometimes I fall into that trap where I'm used to the little red line telling me if I've made a mistake . . . I digress), but as I did my reading for Wills this morning, I was appalled by all of the spelling and grammar mistakes I came across, and now, in TWO pages of Crim. Pro. reading, I've found three typos already. In the eleventh edition of a textbook that has four editors.

I've circled them all and am going to make a list. Consider this a work in progress.

Some jurisdictions allow person's arrested on lower-level felonies to gain their release . . .


Where the arrestee is not released (the police having decided to charge), the arrestee must be brought before the magistrate within a 24 or 48 hours . . .


That decision most often is based on anticipated difficulties of proof (e.g., the evidence is insufficient, the victim is reluctance to testify . . .

11:40 edit: I just finished my reading for tomorrow and I lost count of the typos - I should have been writing down page numbers instead of just circling them. My favorite was an essay about racial profiling following 9/11 . . . that was dated March 2001.
