Kotik Hopalong Cassidy was a Cowboy hero in the Western Movies of the late 30's early 40's. What she means by defended is beyond me. Perhaps she meant defined Hoppy.

He was one of my Western Hero's when I was about 8 years old. I be ancient.

I deliberately glitched Hopalong Cassidy, into "Hopping Cassidy" that was the second formerly acceptable glitch.

I think you should at least tell everyone how many glitches they should expect to be finding. 'cuz you misspelled New Zealand too but that's three errors in one sentence which seems a little high so I'm not sure if you just don't know how to spell it.

In her defense, nobody knows how to spell New Zealand. Except people in Wellington. :D

Thanks for the defense but I don't need it. I know I can't spell, my punctuation is a nightmare, and my grammar is horrible. I once read an interview wherein a famous author said. "I make the charaters and the plots, the technical stuff is the reason I have an editor."

I live by that.

Well, I was mostly just joking about place names... ;)

I remember when Anne Rice stopped using an editor. That was right about when her books went from "...okay, I guess" to "Oh dear lord in heaven this is bad. I'd rather read Barbara Cartland."

Barbra Cartland is like marshmellows. Not very healthy, sometimes not very good. But sometimes only marshmellows will do.

Didn't Barbara Courtland write Bodice Rippers? Just changed the names and dates and used the same plot over and over again

She was also Princess Diana's grandmother. But yes. Most of her books were appropriate for a 10 year old starting on romance novels.
