[bksvol-discuss] Re: 1 for I

Another thing that seems to happen frequently in some scans is that the letter I is recognized as an L. In that case, of course, I search for space L space. Like Cindy, I usually replace them one at a time... Just in case!

Yes, I've found it to be a common scanno--and one that
can be missed even when one with sight reads the
books. When I find it once, I do a find and replace,
replacing, one at a time, space 1 space with space I
space. I do it carefully, though, one replacement at a
time rather than a global replace, in case the number
is supposed to be there, which happens rarely, but
still. And if, as in the book I'm doing now, the 1 is
instead of the I in a set of capital letters (acronym
for an organiztion) I find and replace that, too.

I don't know whether this should be on Jake's tips

instead of I in  the books I validate; this seems to
be a very common scanning error and, of course, it
isn't reporeted in rank spelling. It also often
occurs as one of those extraneous characters too.
