Blame Marium Webster for us not having the same spellings. Yes in Britain
color is spelled colour, flavor is flavour and there are others, I know theater
is theatre, and center is centre.
Smile. Also their quotes and single quotes are changed, but should be accepted
as the British way of doing things, smile.
Note it in the comments, but DON'T change them.
by the by, he didn't win on the word tongue he wanted it without the u. which
sounds funny with the synthesizer tonge.

Hi gang,
I've been working on valadating a book written by a British author. I have a
couple of questions.
Should I note this in the synopsis or review because she is using some funny
spellings. (smile)
Also instead of the quotation marks being two lines - its one, like an
apostrophy. I was wondering how this would work with a screen reader. I know it
is the are different in braille. Would it be confussing?
I know the mission is to stay as close to the book as possible, but it also
needs to be readable.
How have others addressed this quirk?
