nerd teacher [books] commented on The Mao Case by Qiu Xiaolong (Inspector Chen Cao, #6)
The shitty editor of great talent (his name is Keith Kahla) strikes again with probably the funniest mistake I've ever seen, which exists in the following sentence:
"Besides, their conversation was disturbed by a loud Manila band and other louder diners, bantering about Madam Chiang, popping off the cocks on expensive champagne like in the old days."
Dude really must've been the epitome of the "Well, the computer's spellchecker didn't catch it" kind of editor.
