Only one that pissed me off enough to not read was not quotes around dialogue. Made me mad enough I sat there with a pen and wrote them in for the whole book haha
I know in other languages there are different ways to attribute dialogue, but when you are writing in English how is that supposed to translate? People who aren't fluent in those languages can't parse through it all. It's not helpful. I personally don't have time to figure that out when I could just read something else I don't need to run through a punctuation filter.
I don’t even know. Couldn’t tell you the name of the book either this was years ago. They didn’t italicize or anything you were just supposed to contextually pick up that this here is spoken aloud.
