Hi, Judy, very funny. I guess this means that
it's necessary for
proofreaders to have been omnivorous readers at
some point. I caught that
error by the way, but what is the proper
way to spell the name of St.
Conrad's city? Is it P-I-a-c-e-n-z-a
or P-i-a-c-e-n-s-a? Regards, Kim.

[bksvol-discuss] Favorite Scanno of the week
Just have to share
this one, as it really gave me a chuckle.
I'm doing a BSO of
the title "Franciscan Book of Saints" because I noticed
when I
started reading it that several of the Saints'
names are
slaughtered in the copy that's in the collection. This is one
of
those situations when spell checking will not catch the errors,
as the
errors are in proper names.
Here's my favorite scanno
so far:
Saint Conrad of Piacenza is listed in the table of
contents as "Saint Conrad
of Placenta."
Hee hee hee! It's so
incongruous, but there is no spelling checker in the
world that
would have caught that one. It makes me start laughing
every
time I read it!
Funny as it is to me, it's also a good
example of why I carefully read
through books when I'm proofing
them, instead of just trusting in a spell
checker.
smile.
