Thus, not only was the nicknumbering system a monumentally stupid idea, the official guide to it is unprofessional and riddled with errors. Typical!

That's more than fifty errors on just one little map. Some of these errors are significant, some aren't. None of them, however, would have been difficult for a competent, experienced copy editor to find and correct. The sheer quantity of mistakes reveals the sloppy, slipshod, unprofessional approach Taipei takes to such matters. Imagine what Taipei's plan to have English versions of everything is going end up like!
