The Hindi God of Ginesh ? Really ? For Ganesh's sake Meg Cabot, when you're writing about a character who's grown up in India, do at least 5 mins worth of research on the country please.

So I just chapter 2 of this book, and noticed a huge error. The main character talks about the Hindi God of Ginesh. Anyone who knows about India knows Hindi is a language and Hindu is a religion. And it's not Ginesh, it's Ganesh. For christ's sake Meg Cabot, you're writing about a character who's grown up in India, and you can't even do the most minimal of research on the country. Shame on you!
