Errata Data:
Divans, futons, davenports, and settees were also a possibility; possibilities; anything to keep expenditures down.
Comments:
 "A possibility" should be "possibilities," since various separate possibilities are listed.

Errata Data:
You can't put the s on without the apostrophe, apostrophe; that's simply wrong, but that wrong I could not work up the nerve to right.
Comments:
 Change the comma after "apostrophe" to a semi-colon to separate the clauses.

Chronicling a tale of two cities' reactions toward our heroes' Heroes' fateful Endeavors: It was the best of typos. It was the worst of typos.
Comments:
 "Heroes'" should be capitalized, since Hero and its variants are capitalized in the other chapter intros (cf pp 8, 20, 39, 49, 103, 129, etc.)

Errata Data:
Well, to be honest, that's why I don't really see the point of your mission, Jeffs. Jeff.
Comments:
 It seems like "Jeffs" should be "Jeff;" it's rather hard to pronounce for an endearing nickname, and it only occurs once in the book.

Errata Data:
Realizing our proximity to Cleveland, Benjamin played nothing but Bone thugs-n-harmony Thugs-n-harmony during our outings, and that also made our stay seem longer.
Comments:
 Page 180 mentions "Bone Thugs blasting all the way," so "thugs" should be capitalized here as well. I can't tell if "harmony" should be capitalized; that depends on whether he's referring to a band or a type of music.

Consider my shock when, in a vindicated tone, she declared herself right and put the dictionary nearly in my face with a smug smug, "Look!"
Comments:
 There should be a comma after "smug."

I don't understand why she wouldn't at least let me white out that apostrophe? apostrophe!
Comments:
 The question mark should be an exclamation point, since he "nearly shouted" this remark, which is not a question.

Errata Data:
But Queen Liberty had at long last planted her embrace kiss upon our froggy mouths, restoring our sovereignty as whole citizens, who could tread whatever soil they pleased without fear of swift and bloody legal retribution.
Comments:
 An embrace is not something you plant on a mouth; a kiss is.
