I was reading a novel by a well known author recently.
And twice he used the term "hone in on". I know we all make mistakes, and sometimes there are errors in certain translations, but...
a well known author making the same mistake twice in the same novel. It annoyed me, but not enough to spoil the book.

maybe I am getting too picky in my old age.
Even brought and bought are now acceptable as being interchangeable.
Does anyone else suffer from the problem of noticing and being annoyed by such errors/ignorance?
