>A Dictionary of Japanese Grammar has several translation errors in its examples
DoJG has multiple mistranslated example sentences. It sometimes uses the different names or negates something that it isn't making an example out of. This is common knowledge here, someone mentions one at least once a month. That's what he's referring to. Not a big deal.

>and doesn't always subscribe to real linguistics terms
DoAJG, page 361. This use of the term "disjunctive conjunction" is incorrect. A disjunctive conjunction is something like "either". が and けれど・も are correlating or adversative, depending on how you define adversative, but no real definition of "disjunctive" used in grammar or linguistics can be used to describe them.

First instance I found, there's more, it bothered me a lot while reading it. It's not really a problem but you shouldn't take the English jargon it uses at face value if you understand what the jargon normally means, the author/editor/whoever is right.
