Yes. Once I saw rime, when the word was obviously time. I checked on
books.google.com, and the word was written as rime there as well. It didn’t
make sense, and I confess to changing it to time. I know that when I was a
student I would have really scoffed at rime instead of time.

EScellent point, Sue. We ought to be allowed to change scannos even if the
errors are in the print book, since I assume it is the author's words we don't
want to change, not publishers' mistakes, if the book has not been edited well;
maybe m y assumption is incorrect.

Well, you know, I don’t get it. Some things we are allowed tochange, even
though we are told we cannot tamper with books as published; whereas, if we
see a scanno and it is in the print book, we cannot change it. To me, that
doesn’t sound logical. Why are we allowed to change hyphenated words? Don’t
get me wrong; I have always done that, but I still don’t see the logic.

I see it all the time when scanning books. Just because word processors don't
do it, doesn't mean books don't do it.
