Surely this little nugget had to make its way through countless copy editors
(at several publishers--not to mention the notorious fact-checking
department at The New Yorker, where bachelors and husbands ought to have to
sit on different benches altogether).... A friend of mine published a novel
in which she had a character jump into a little red sportscar and drive west
from Vancouver. This is not advisable!
Cheers,
