TheSpineView I had several authors tell me how frustrating it is when the manuscript is correct then a mistake creeps in when it is sent to print. 5y

I read this thinking it meant to say grandmas, and laughed at the thought of grand am vehicles muttering in a tent, but @Melissa_J tells me grandam is actually an old fashioned word for grandmother. Live and learn!

Melissa_J It‘s probably not a typo, grandam is an old-fashioned word for grandmother 😊 6y

ShyBookOwl @Melissa_J No way?! You learn something new every day. Thank you!! 😄 6y

Melissa_J It pretty much translates to great lady. I rather like this old-fashioned version myself 😁 (of course, it could still very well be a typo, but one that just happens to fit!). 6y

ShyBookOwl @Melissa_J Haha well I'm glad my ignorance led me to this fun fact 😊 6y

• I hate this! In the context of this story, the name doesn‘t matter, of course, but it matters to my editor‘s brain. What is the woman‘s name, for goodness sake?! Could the editor not decide?! 😩 •
