Query: Douglass does it yet again...

You'd think I'd quit reading these, considering how much the author's misuse of words annoys me. Once again, the story and characters have great potential, but the whole thing falls flat because of serious language problems. Neither the author nor her editors seem to own a dictionary, because there are still a number of extremely amusing flaws in the writing.1. Douglass continues to use "virulent" in place of "virile" to describe her male characters.2. An automat is something found at a restaurant or lunch counter ca. 1950; she appears to have this device confused with "automaton".3. The plural of child is *not* "childs", but is "children".If nothing else, the books are good for a laugh.
