Do you think that George would have ever relied on editors? Hell No! Also I'm sure George knows how to spell SOLDIER correctly! He or Capeci would have done a much better job!
Actually yes, George relies heavily on editors. Are you kidding me? All writers do.
The fact you are stuck on this aspect and compared the book to a high school report, speaks volumes.
You are one of the Scott stalkers/haters that bad mouths him whenever you can.
Heres a solution...DONT READ THE BOOK
