I’m reading a Nora Roberts Rom/Com, The Heart’s Victory, in the Forever collection, when a sentence stops me BAM! right in the middle of the page:
“Chivalrousness was simply not one of Lance’s qualities, and Foxy knew that she had had enough of chivalrousness for a while.”
Why on earth would anyone write such a ridiculous sentence, creating a word to take the place of “chivalry,” which makes perfect sense in the sentence: “Chivalry was simply not one of Lance’s qualities, and Foxy knew that she had had enough of chivalry for a while.” Add to it the “had had” and it’s simply a sentence that should not have been constructed.

Not to mention how much abuse Foxy was in for going out of her way to find someone wihtout chivalry... er, I mean, "chivalrousness."
