But I blame the editors as much as the writers. That's what they are supposed to be there for.

What bothers me most is when the slips occur where the story has no place being in the first place. But thinking about it, I guess that's exactly where they would be. Why would you mention any vehicle's parking brake, unless of course, the story actually revolves around said exceptional device. If it's just a normal passage, far better to respect the reader's intelligence and leave details to assumption. We find the devil there too, but at least we can fashion it ourselves.
