He was silent; I could just make out his face, his staring to sea, as if Neuve
Chapelle was out there, gray mud and hell, visible.
This is another sentence from The Magus by John Fowles. How many grammatical errors can you find here? I can find at least two: 1) instead of saying 'I could just make out his face staring at the sea' he writes 'his staring to sea', skipping an article before 'sea'. Next, 'as if NCh was out there', instead 'were'.
