Elizabeth,

You will often find that the books that contain die for the, will contain
many replacements of the letters th  with di.  I  have populated my
automatic corrections list with words that have this combination of letters
such as diey for they.

When I validate a book with those issues I try and do a find and replace on 
' hi " with my checking each replace by contect.  It is slow but at least 
with the spaces around it finding the word ' hi " where it really means 
hello is fairly infrequent.  Contextual replaces is all I have found which 
really works on a validation end.
