I cannot tell you how many fics I've read with things like, "He span around quickly." Noooooo. Span is reach, not a tense of spin. One of my pet peeves. I always want to email them, but I am not tactful enough to say "You are an idiot!" politely. I have come across some other gems, too. "He has a bad inhabit." is one. I should write a paper, "These words do not mean what you think they mean.", but I think that phrase has already been taken. I will check out the books. Thanks.
