I am reading a book from the collection called Midwives, and anywhere where there should be a long dash, Reed identifies it as "thorn". I have never seen this before. I thought I'd do a search and replace to get rid of the thorns, only to find that in doing so it often, not every time but often enough, got rid of the t's. So apparently this "thorn" is sometimes meant to be a long dash and sometimes a T. No way to get rid of them in that case unless someone else has encountered this and knows of a way. Pam
