Sorry, I didn't take notes - there was at least one "another thing coming" vs "another think coming" (typo). I kinda remembered that one being in more than one place but ADE's search says I'm wrong. I think there were a couple of homophones where the spelling didn't match the usage. E.g. "bear naked" but I don't recall specifics
Unfortunately the NookE isn't particularly conducive to marking such things, but I'll try to remember to keep better track next time I read this kind of material.
Again, not offered in the negative sense of "critical" - it's just that one of my non-day-jobs involves a lot of presentation review so my eye tends to be drawn to nitpicky stuff like that. I recently had a discussion with one of my presenters about "insure" vs "ensure" but at least one online dictionary disagrees with my interpretation
Again, good read and thank you!
