Errors in KBB??

Hi all, I have been using the KBB as a review for my DAT next Friday (ahhhh!) and have been getting caught up when using KBB... I have been finding that I thought I knew something and then KBB said something else 🙁 Then when I was really sure I was correct, I double checked it, and sure enough I was right! This makes me wonder how much information I have erroneously learned from KBB....

I know that some of you will call BS (I would) without an example. So, on page 59 of the 7th edition blue book, the RNA is shown to be paired up with the sense strand, when I have always learned it to be paired with the antisense strand...

here is how I remember it:

This is the only error I am looking at now, but have found quite a few more (i think). Not only this, but there are quite a few grammatical errors... I can live with the grammatical errors. The thing that worries me, is that I have been using their study sheet to review daily, and I dont want to be learning false information... Anyone else find errors? 🙁
