Here are my recommendations: 92, 96, 110, 178, 229, 248, 275, 307, 343: leave as-is 40: Amulet. But as -> Amulet. As 56, 145, 347: pedestal. But -> pedestal, but 78, 94, 221: staircase. But -> staircase, but 81: drupelets. But -> drupelets, but 90: entity. But as -> entity. As 191: attack. But despite -> attack. Despite 211: cloak. But this -> cloak. This 231: warriors. But -> warriors, but 279: attacking. But -> attacking, but 283: wall. But when -> wall. When 286: ambush. But -> ambush, but 310: off. But -> off, but This is really a judgment call. I looked at the preceding sentence to see whether joining the sentences would make it feel cumbersome and if the "but" was needed at all. -- Jon ~~~~~~ Manage your subscription at //www.freelists.org/list/projectaon
