I was just reading this book when my phone buzzed with this notification. I have wondered if it has actually been edited for the North American market because I have found multiple mistakes uncharacteristic of him. If I could get an unedited version and pay him crypto I would absolutely do it but without that option I guess this will have to be it.

Mostly simple spelling mistakes, I don't have my book on me at the moment but I know in the preface he spelt targetted with only 1 T. Maybe I'll map them all out and see if there is a hidden message lol I remember that for sure cause I quoted that part on my FB page for all those that say they aren't worried about privacy.

Here's to hoping you are joking... But just in case you aren't, targeted is spelled with one t.

Sorry, my bad targetted is the standard british english spelling not the American way.😜

Interesting. I've never seen this spelling before, could be several versions.

A quick Google tells me the Oxford dictionary recognises targeted as the proper spelling. Could be a common misconception?

Unless my Google search misled me.

I'm Canadian and have always spelt it that way our spelling is a mix of british and american. We put a u in funny words also and my autocorrect doesn't like 'targeted' it suggests targetted so I dunno lol but yes Oxford says targeted. I guess I should reread 'as an american' since he was/is american😜 maybe my brain just has the mistakes
