It depends on what the book actually has. If you're proofing, see if someone can check the original through Google. If you're doing the original scan, and you're not seeing scanos related to these words, ignore what your software says. I have seen chainmail as separate words, with a dash, and as a single word, each in a different book and each was exactly what the book had. Btw, this is one of the reasons I'd recommend to everyone to check their autocorrections for every book they do. Several examples: the word "wold" was corrected to "would", "rne" was corrected to "me", and "hoy" was corrected to "boy." In the case of the author I happen to be doing, each of these corrections would have been in error, with the "rne" supposed to be "nie".

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?
