[bksvol-discuss] Re: Spelling Errors?

Since, as you say, these "errors" occur several times, and since they aren't among the usual scanning-induced problems (die for the, and dien for then, for example) it's a good guess they came straight from the publisher and should be left alone. 

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Spelling Errors?
I'm working on a book which has the words, "travellers" and "travelling" spelled as I showed them here but Open Office Writer points them out as being miss-spelled and indicates the correct spelling is with a single 'l' in both cases. I'm rather a poor speller at times so am a bit unsure here. I'm assuming the spell check in OOo Writer is correct but if these words are consistently miss-spelled throughout the book, Should I fix them or should I leave them as being intended by the author? I would normally not change intentional bad grammar if that was the author's intent but what about words like these? I would tend towards correcting these in this case. 

What say you?
