Hi, thanks, I remember that the characters misspelled and mispronounced words
frequently. That was one of the fun things I remember. My vocabulary improved
quite a bit from reading the Lenora Mattingly Weber books during the 1980s when
I was in middle school. Thanks for doing these and the heads up on the unusual
words.

Hi Jamie, it will be an easy proof. There are some unusual words in it, like
they say:
"We never would have got the lights unsnangled if it hadn't been for him."
And unsnangled is kind of weird you know.
And later they say maybe they can unSTRANGLE them instead of unsnangle them.
And one time so far they call a deli a delly.
And a cooky sheet.
And one time they call it a stero instead of stereo so far.
And a torn legament instead of a ligament.
That's what I've found so far. Other than the strange words I think you'll
have an easy time proofreading so when it's ready I'll put hold for Jamie P.
