Also, if one doesn't have a dictionary handy, one can
put the word into google and get the correct spelling.
I did this with my first validation, which was a
biography of Aaron Copland and had a lot of names of
musicians and composers,  many of whom I knew but also
many that I didn't.  It took me over halfway through
the book before I realized that I could borrow the
book from the library and check the names and
technical musical terms with the book. In the
meantime, I had been putting them in google to check
the spelling. I can't imagine what I was thinking--or
more to the point, what I wasn't thinking.
