If Mr. Huston is going to publish his work, he needs to proofread it.

Nothing destroys confidence in a published writing faster than grammar, spelling, and usage errors.

(It's "hue and cry".)

I always find people like you hilarious. You throw the whole thing out because you find a single misspelling? I’d submit to a small minded person such as yourself that you’d never be able to accept ANYTHING printed if that is your lone criteria. Just about every magazine, every newspaper, every book has SOME violation of spelling or grammar.

Now, if every other word was spelled wrong, or the grammar was blatantly bad throughout, I could see your point. Unfortunately, you make yourself look small and petty otherwise.

Now, instead of acting picayune perhaps you’d like to actually ADD something to the conversation for a change?
