| Page 169: | "Even though both the newly Democratic-controlled House passed it in 2019, the bill hasn't even gone to a vote in the Senate." |
| Extra word? Or something else missing from the sentence? |
| Page 200: | "Democrats are still here, but their presence and influence has waned." |
| Number error: S/B "have". |
| Page 212: | "Prine notes in the lyrics that 'Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled . . . away' his paradise in Muhlenberg County, which is fitting, as it's how strip mining works, extracting minerals and leaving virtually nothing in its place." |
| Number error: S/B "their". |
| Page 272: | Nathan Flynn quote: "There is now a band-aid on the wounds, but it is not closed. It's time to put stitches on the wound." |
| Number error: S/B "wound". (This is based on the second sentence having the singular noun.) |
| Page 281: | "My mom and I sit in our den, adorned with framed pictures of me at various ages and begin chatting about how the tour is going and my thoughts on the race." |
| Missing comma: S/B "ages, and begin". |
| Page 342: | "For Jesse, that's what the music is all about: an expression of a way of life and providing a connection." |

| Dangling participle: S/B "When NAFTA passed in 1994". |

| This is a common spelling mistake. S/B "Calvary Temple Church". |
| Page 392: | "McWhorter's Kentucky accent shines through most distinctly as he reads a Bible verse saying that God (“Gawwwwwwhd”) will judge those of us who project out anger toward others." |
| This makes a sort of sense, but it probably S/B "who project our anger". |
| Page 429: | "...the upscale Burley Market and Café, a marital arts dojo called Sin thé Shaolin, 1 and a cheese store with a sign in front that just says 'Cheese Store'." 2 |
| Capitalization error: S/B "Sin Thé Shaolin". |
| Page 445: | "Even though the state has been blessed with his supposed unprecedented aggregation of power and influence, it's citizens have been rewarded with nothing but heartache and wasted opportunity." |
