1.3) General Guidelines (David Weber)
Discussion of the Weber books, especially when a book
comes out, can come at a fast and furious pace and often
features attention to minutiae. Some of us have found typos

nitpickers get the proverbial red shirt (remember the
anonymous Classic Trek person who inspires the phrase, "He's
dead, Jim") and become part of the casualty list of the
inevitable death ride or shootout in the next book (a
practice also known as Tuckerization in fannish lore).
There's a section later on in the FAQ that has the most
egregious typos found to date. Happy hunting, hope you look
good in red!
