My best typo slipped through three rounds of editing and made it into a published book.
In the story, the horse was named Pancho and the Hispanic character was named Paco (“The name’s Paco.” / “Really? Seriously?” / “Yes, it’s a Hispanic name, you fucking racist! It’s like being named John or Fred!” / “Just saying, sounds kind of generic…”) and the scene was a showdown between two groups, the protagonists on one side, the antagonists on another. (As is right and proper, LOL)
So, there was a slight mistake in the text.
Paco ignored everything around him to chew on the oats in his feedbag.
Pancho stood up suddenly, firing the shotgun point blank into a man’s chest.
It was almost six months before someone pointed it out in a review.
