I assume, then, that word recognition would approve
words that are good words but not in context, e.g.,
"be" where it should be "he," (a lot of those in the
book I'm validating now, the number one where it
should be a capital I -- which would explain why
people sometimes complain about some books rated good.
 

If 95 - 98.6% is Fair, what is the rating for Good an
excellent? 98.6% is pretty high; Excellent says "very
few errors," but there's not much room at the top for 
both Good and Excellent, it appears. And there's a
*big* difference between 95% and 98.6%. Wow!

Thanks, Jesse, for the info.
