Returning to "an oldie but a goodie" - anachronisitc writing. I just DNF'd a book at The Storygraph after having had enough of the two leads using late C20/early C21 Standard English. The real kicker came courtesy of a review at Goodreads, which commented on the female lead's assertion on her appearance in the story that she had an honours degree from Girton. Quite a neat trick since the story is set more than 50 years before Girton awarded any. That's just lazy!
