now that's a typo. I hope.

The protagonist has decided she's going to

...seduce the sexist men in the room...

and I'm thinking, my god, why would you bother?

OH GOD, I loled irl. Now there's a typo and a half. XD

[kaigou]

You said it. Best typo I've run across yet, I think.

[sharibet]

...because it's a hands-on re-education camp?

LOL!

[kaigou]

Now with extra baseball bats! (I can hope.)

eheheh.

[hokuton_punch]

BEAUTIFUL. XD XD XD

[kaigou]

And the kicker... it's a brand-new ebook, and this is in the FIRST CHAPTER. Hell, it's on the second page! I took pity and found the author's site, but she has absolutely nothing that indicates how to get in touch with her. No replies allowed on her blog, no "contact me" page, not even an email address listed anywhere. Which made me really really tempted to go ahead and list the book's title and author's name, but even I won't sink that low. I'll just snark from over here.

Okay, I won't even really snark. I mean, all I have to do is quote the author's own typo and that does all the snarking for me.

har! I still treasure the one where 'she spread her legs with wonton abandon... '

[kaigou]

Followed by egg-drop soup nine months later.

sorry, I really couldn't resist. it's a symptom of living with CP all this time.

[dharma_slut]

EEEEWWWW!!!!!

*laughing like crazy over here*

[dragonhand]

I was going to remark "mmm, wontons", but now I'm off my lunch. Thanks, Kaigou. XDDD

[kaigou]

*salutes*

Just doin' my CP's job!

[kaigou]

Ehehehe.

[reileen]

She spread her legs with wonton abandon for his hot steaming spring roll?

[kaigou]

his hot steaming spring roll

I bet penicillin would clear that right up.

[wilhelminabenedict]

It wasn't until I read the comments that I even realized that was probably a typo. >.>

[kaigou]

Yeah, same here, actually.

[blnchflr]

Me, neither :o)

[dragonhand]

Well, when you seduce them, then you can publicly slam them for being jerks? That could be sort of fun, depending on the mood one is in.

[kaigou]

It could be fun, plus it would make for a very different kind of romance, eh.

[sothcweden]

Thanks so much for mentioning this. You (and the comments) have made my day. (Though I wonder if the publisher needs line editors...)

[kaigou]

Heh, np. I do wish the author had the good sense to have some form of contact email, though. Even a comment box! Because given the way other folks reacted, there's a tiny question in my head as to whether the author really did mean "sexist" and not "sexiest" -- even though there was absolutely nothing in the story's opening two pages that would've made me conclude the men were sexist. Eh, well.

[baggyeyes]

Hah! You should post this in danglypartsiple. They live for these kinds of typos.
