Notes from a proofreader:

[tanaise]

"The author has confused "heroin" with "heroine". It's funnier as written, but all instances of "heroine" should have the "e" removed."

Example:

"Methadone is a synthetic opioid that curbs heroine withdrawal symptoms. "

It's things like this that make the hell of the job more fun.

Best typo ever, in the galleys for The Portable Dorothy Parker

the phrase in question was cranky-pants. The typesetter read it as cranky-penis. Freudian slip, anyone?

Someone had over trusted the spell checker with these questions, as I'd already found and corrected a different question about heroine addictions before it was even sent to the proofreader.

Such a bad idea.

Well, the scary bad idea is that these questions are part of a second edtion. So the flaws exist in the 1e as well. :)

Depends on the heroine, I suppose.
