I often find instances like this are font misrecognitions. If you give me
an ISBN, page number and sentence, I will see if I can find it on Amazon
peek for you to see if there is an explanation.
HTH!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] dis dis dis
Hi everyone!
Every once in a while in the book I'm proofing, there is "dis" in all
lowercase letters. It is not part of a word, because it doesn't make any
sense when trying to fit it with any word.
One example was a sentence something like,
When I returned to the office I disfound
blah blah, blah, (whatever the rest of the sentence was).
Hey, could "disfound" mean lost? (chuckle)?
Sometimes the dis will be three times in succession as this line that I
just came across:
sure knows her detective novels. I wonder dis dis dis
I'm just curious. Has anyone come across this curious thing? Is there
something about some OCR software that would incert such a thing when it
couldn't recognize characters or could it be junk characters?
It's certainly not a big deal. It's just an odd little thing.
Debby
