I remember when a Robin Cook novel had someone use a .356 Magnum. It was Read that way, too. Made me laugh.

Jamie,

I've had the urge to do that recently when there were
a few only a misspelled words in the book, but I
thought that would be unpleasant interruptions for
people who listen, and possibly for Braille readers as
well. I did put in the long synopsis that misspellings
were in the book and so I left them alone, gritting my
teeth.

I have been reading a book that has a lot of errors.
If I scan it, it's going to look atrocious.

  When you quote a source that has errors, you put
[sic] after the error to show it was an error in the
source and not in your quoting.

  Would it be permissible to put [sic] after the
errors so that readers know it wasn't a poor scan?
