Well, there just went my off-the-top-of-my-head theory. <smile>. So by definition, I didn't think before I wrote that, or I would have recalled that I have also seen improperly-spelled made up names, but not too many because I optimize my scans, and I usually know from whom I am validating and that they have good quality.

Hi Cindy, The scanning equipment is intelligent and knows foreign names, no matterwhat language, and if made up, understands fantasy lingo. <lol> Seriously, I have seen a lot of romances in which the proper names had the same scannosas other words, such as Gardie for Garth, etc. You have just been lucky. <smile> Sue S.----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 15, 2007 2:47 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] properly-spelled foreign names Interestingly, in every book that I've validated that had foreign names, of whatever language, including Chinese,, Russian, and made-up weird fantasy names, the proper names were spelled correctly. I'm always amazed and wonder if the scanning people took special care to check and correct them or if the scanning machines just did a fantastic job.

I warn anyone looking at it that it has a very large number of Vietnamese and Chinese names. I could very well have missed spelling errors. But, I did my best.
