A good bit off topic but commenting on grammar nazi.  I get the same way.
Find some books that their first print is pre 1970.  Sometimes you'll find
typos and grammar errors in them cause they had no form of spell check.
Though you have to find a print of it that was before computers to find the
typo(one example is atlantian chronicles.  On the second page one of the
thoughs is spelled tho)
