When you write about an iconic character, even a fictional one, you better be spot on. I wrote a crime scene sketch of one of Sherlock Holmes' cases and got letters from all over the world - places like Japan, Nigeria, and, of course, the UK. (This pre-dated the internet and emails)
I apparently had the furniture the wrong way around. The desk was wrong for the Australian, and the bed wrong for the Swede. Apparently, my interpretation of the scene (there were no pictures) was too American.
I'm laughing. Oh God, I can just imagine. Probably the only worse infraction would be getting something Star Trek wrong. Trekkies would roast you alive.
Like your family member who had a penchant for prevarication, I worked for a man about 5 years (more than 2 decades ago) with the same total lack of integrity for truth telling. He had a knack for ingratiating himself with whomever was at the top of the food chain, thereby making him untouchable as a manager. What resulted in the organization was a lot of game’s playing and disruption.
Is that a fact????
lol. Nope. It's an opinion. If it was a fact, I'd have cited the source. Too funny.

It's just the worst, and sometimes I wonder why no one else can see it. Maybe they do and just don't think it's worth the effort to deal with it.
