Hi Cindy,
Since you are very thooughtfully speaking in general, it does seem that
submitters could take random samples of their scans--i.e., read a couple
of
pages here and there to see if this problem exists. After all, they make
more than we do. <smile> And if submitters find that this problem exists
with a lot of their scans, maybe they coould get the problem cleared up
before submitting anything else. Just my thoughts.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] relying in kes' ranked spelling
I'm validating a book now that looks very clean. I
suspect that if it was checked with kes ranked
spelling it would have gotten a very high ranking. But
reading it shows that there are many, many errors that
wouldn't be identified by the kes ranked spelling or
by Word's spell check--things like semicolons where
there should be commas and words like lie for like,
tune for time, polling for pulling, our for out, end
for and, and many more--and I'm only on page 18.
Just commenting. I know it's too much to expect
everyone who scans to read their books before
submission, and I suspect that validators who download
a book marked excellent will assume that it is and
possibly not read it, either--though I know many of
you do. But I think that is why some books that appear
excellent aren't really. Running kes ranked spelling
or Word's spell-check certainly would get rid of a lot
of junk and mis-spelled words, but it's not perfect.
