Find a typo? Please leave the following information in a comment below and I’ll be happy to give you a special thanks in the next printed edition of the book:
- your name as you’d like it to appear in the book (you can put “nameless” if you don’t want to be thanked)
- page number of typo
- the typo itself
Thanks!

I read the sample chapters, and I really like it! I’m definitely going to buy the book when I get some extra money! 我很喜欢！
Page 1: “‘It’s not safe to tell you anymore.’” Should be: “‘It’s not safe to tell you any more.’” Because: “anymore” means “any longer,” while “any more” means “any additional.”
Page 2: “Lovers often give nine roses to symbolize the eternity of their love, but for her it’s
difficult to believe right now.” Should be: “…but for her, it’s difficult to believe right now.” Because: You have to use a comma to set the prepositional phrase off from the independent clause that follows it.
pg 34
“I thought we we’re going to go to the same college and then we’d register…”
I think should be:
“I thought we were going to go to …”
pg 42
“What are you talking about? No, of course not. Tammy’s over at Bri’s house right now.”
I think should be:
“What are you talking about? No, of course not. Tammi’s over at Bri’s house right now.”
Earlier in the book you spell Tammi’s name with an “i” instead of a “y.”
Also on page 34, in the same quote as in the last comment, there should be a comma after “college”.
Thanks very much! I’m keeping track of these changes for the next edition.
Hi Albert!
The only thing I saw in the book was, I think, two instances where you wrote looser (as in a looser knot) when you meant loser (as in winner/loser).
I see this spelling frequently on the internet.
