Hi there,

If the odd spelling persists throughout the book, we're obligated to leave
it as is.  Part of the agreement with publishers not to alter their content.
I'd leave them as they are.

Happy proofreading!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Spelling Errors?

I'm working on a book which has the words, "travellers" and "travelling" 
spelled as I showed them here but Open Office Writer points them out as
being miss-spelled and indicates the correct spelling is with a single 'l'
in both cases.  I'm rather a poor speller at times so am a bit unsure here.
I'm assuming the spell check in OOo Writer is correct but if these words are
consistently miss-spelled throughout the book, Should I fix them or should I
leave them as being intended by the author?  I would normally not change
intentional bad grammar if that was the author's intent but what about words
like these? I would tend towards correcting these in this case.

What say you?
