Jamie,
The book is supposedly in my branch and I'll get it tomorrow if it is. As Roger
says, most of the misplaced commas should be deleted. They probably occurred
when the submitter lengthened the line and so words that were hyphenated at the
end of the line were no longer at the end of the line but still retained the
hyphen. However, some of those errors that you mention may in fact be ones the
character is making herself, and so should be kept. The "two hundred
dollarsmand" is caused by someone hitting the "m" instead of the comma. They
are right together on the keyboard and it's something I do all the time. If the
submitter had spell-checked that error should have shown up and been corrected.
Maybe "dollarsand" did show up and the submitter tried to correct it by
inserting a comma and goofed and then, of course, didn't do a second
spell-check having assumed that everything was o.k. That's why books are
validated by a second person. smile
That's also why we valdiators read the books. smile. I'm glad it's interesting.
If I can get the book I'll contact you off list and we can work together and
I'll keep the book until you're ready to upload. It's good that you have one
with problems to work on. smile You'll become more expert at validating. smile
Cindy
