Fair enough. I just wanted to clarify what books you felt had issues (I haven't read everything of his yet). I didn't say there weren't any errors, just that nothing happened to jar me enough that I broke out of my reading flow.
The one I've heard the most complaints about is the coffee. "Want to go out for a coffee?" or "Should I bring you back a coffee?" sounds totally natural to me.
I could make more strained arguments as to why the nail varnish and people seconded somewhere didn't trip alarms, but so it goes. I must just not have noticed sport on the TV, as I'd agree that's just a plain error.
