I've had a few reviews of my books that said the language was confusing. I'm pretty sure they meant slang and word usage rather than spelling. 

Though I've had people write to tell me that my disclaimer saying I write in British English is demeaning as Americans are perfectly aware of British spellings – then go on to point out 'mistakes' that are in fact British spellings they're unfamiliar with. 
 Oh, folks. I am delighted to say there are more. If you don’t run right out and buy this book, what’s wrong with you?

1. I don’t care for the gay lifestyle

 I love when a bad review sells a book to me better than any gushing, glowing, 5-star review ever could.

 My parents are pensioners in Alberta. They’re worried about Liz Truss, oops, I mean Danielle Smith’s pernicious plan to replace the Canada Pension Plan with an Alberta-branded one. Frankly, I’m terrified. I’m already supporting my parents. How much more would I have to provide under an #APP?
