‘School Library Journal’ Names 8 GNs to New List
The School Library Journal named eight graphic novels in its list of 30 adult titles that “will appeal to high school readers and provide a bridge into the vast world of adult publishing.” The selected books had to have been published between September of 2007 and November of 2008, and were chosen by SLJ’s Adult Books for High School Students Committee made up of librarians from public and school libraries who work with teens in a variety of rural, urban, and suburban settings across the U.S. and Canada.
The eight graphic novels on the list include Lewis Trondheim’s pirate saga Bourbon Island (First Second), Lynda Barry’s What It Is (Drawn & Quarterly), Andrew Helfer’s Ronald Reagan: A Biography (Hill and Wang), Akira Hiramoto’s Me and the Devil Blues (Del Rey), Mat Johnson’s Incognegro (Vertigo), G. Willow Wilson’s Cairo (Vertigo), Marc-Antoine Mathieu’s The Museum Vaults: Excerpts From the Journal of an Expert (NBM ComicsLit), and Howard Zinn and Paul Buhle’s A People’s History of the American Empire (Henry Holt).
Hiromoto’s Robert Johnson biography was the only Manga title on the list.

This happens a lot, or least far more often than it should. I’ve seen similar mistakes in several articles. Don’t you guys at least have a spell checker you can run things through before posting?
Even if they did spell-check it, it would still be the wrong word.
True. But using an inappropriate plural won't be found. I'm aiming low here and asking only for those things the simplest spell checker can do.
