Descent or decent?

I'm reading a very popular romance novel at the moment, by an author I respect. And last night I read about how the hero was actually a pretty "descent" guy.See the issue here? Try the quiz to see if you've got it right:[os-widget path="/evidentink/decent-or-descent" of="evidentink"]I cringed to find this in a well-reviewed and spectacularly selling book...but it just goes to show you that we all make errors, and even the best authors can benefit from a nitpicky anal retentive editor. Like me.
