The Snarky Editor has been at this for just over two years now. And every now and then, she likes to make sure y’all are paying attention. So here’s the deal — she’s going to post a half-dozen (or eight) examples, but she’s not going to tell you why these particular words, phrases, or sentences caught her eye.
(And, just to be mean as well as extra-snarky, it’s possible that not all of the examples contain errors. It’s also possible that some contain more than one error.)
Post your answers in the comments, and next week we’ll talk about it!

Have fun, everybody! The Snarky Editor will be back next week to tell you why these eight examples landed in her collection.
The Snarky Editor comes out of hiding occasionally to comment on the awkward, silly, and sometimes hilarious editing errors found in published books.
