My favorite is when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle forgot where Dr. Watson had been wounded from one story to the next. Second favorite is when Mrs. Watson calls her husband "James" instead of "John." Oops. All of that happened early in Doyle's Holmes writing career, too. It would be less funny if he was only forgetting these things towards the end, years later.

It would make more sense for there to be mistakes at the end since by then he'd pretty much run out of fucks to give about the Holmes universe. What we have now can be chalked up to early installment weirdness.

Although isn't John/ James pretty much interchangeable in England?

Is it? I had no idea. I've heard that (possible) mistake mentioned a lot, but I don't know the nationalities of all the people mentioning it.

They're two different names. That's like saying Matthew and Michael are interchangeable.

No. John/Jack/Jock or James/Jim/Jimmy. Two separate names.

I'm not British, but I've never heard those names used interchangeably. Wikipedia says both names are from Hebrew, ultimately, but derive from different names/words. It's a weird mistake on Doyle's part.
