Two sentences on the same page of a novel by a bestselling author:
1) "At least I got you to stay through desert."
2) "In another hour a younger crowd would straggle in for desert or fries after the movie let out."
A third sentence with the same error appeared near the end of the book.
When I saw the first sentence, I chalked it up to an error. The same error twice more made me wonder if the author and/or editor really thought that you spell "dessert" with one "s."
What do you think?
Could also have been one of those universal find/change programs, and the author/editor forgot to re-check.
