I take it that maths is not one of your strong points?

I have to confess that when I read a book, my enjoyment of it can really be spoiled by elementary errors, and that's what happened to me in "1632". There's a scene in which a priest makes a "pithy comment" in Latin, and gets the Latin wrong. Studying Latin is one of my interests, and this mistake did, I'm afraid, really annoy me, and put me off the book and its sequels.
