And did anyone sane proof either version for paper, or proof the ebook version on an ereader?
I've noticed that since Wordprocessing has become common people seem to be relying on spelling & grammar checkers not expert humans.
Some newer books are worse proofed than average old PD proofed for Gutenberg.
Correctly spelled completely wrong words; Harper Collins, Penguin Random House, not just SP or small indies.
Alternate valid spelling of same word even in same chapter. We started deleting alternate spellings we don't want from the spelling dictionary in use.
