/Journalist, the Editor and Publisher and Journalist/, June 27, 1914."
seemed to have the italics placed incorrectly. This phrase was changed
to "/Cf./ Don't Shy at Journalist, /The Editor and Publisher and
Journalist/, June 27, 1914".
Page 112, footnote 14: opening quotation mark added to "has so
ingrained itself".
Page 124, footnote 29: "universites" is misspelled, but it is not
entirely clear that this is a mistake.
Page 125, footnote 32: changed "Enlishman" to "Englishman".
Page 157, closing quotation mark added to "und gehn in /street/ für a
/walk/.".
Page 163: "/shoot-the-chutes and grape-juice-diplomacy/" changed to
"/shoot-the-chutes/ and /grape-juice-diplomacy/".
Page 172: "/vois avez/" probably should be "/vous avez/", but has been
retained as the incorrect form appears also in the index.
Page 173, footnote 90: "Essai Raissoné dur la Grammaire" changed to
"Essai Raisonné sur la Grammaire".
Page 214: "they and thine" to "thy and thine".
Page 226: "(=wide)" to "(=/wide/)".
Page 251: "macheen" to "masheen". This change agrees with an entry in
the index, and fits the context better.
Page 278: "Karzeniowski" to "Korzeniowski", both here and in the
corresponding index entry on page 353.
Page 279, footnote 24: "flaggelation" to "flagellation".
Page 282: "/Drewry/, /Droit/," to "/Drewry/, /Droit/;".
Page 296: "discreet" would probably be considered incorrect now, but
this word is present in Webster's Unabridged Dictionaries published in
1913 and in 1828.
Page 297, footnote 44: "decisons" to "decisions".
Page 310: "you mean /cant/. No, I don't." changed to "you mean
/cant/."¶"No, I don't." (Two quotation marks, and a paragraph break
inserted).
Page 315, footnote 22: "spokne" to "spoken".
Page 331: "Prounciation" to "Pronunciation".
Page 340: "anemia, 242, 262" to "anemia, 242, 263". Also, in
"anti-fogmatic, IR", "IR" to "84". Note that the "I" and "R" keys are
close to the "8" and "4" keys on a qwertyop keyboard.
Page 341: "Beaver Moon, 4wn" changed to "Beaver Moon, 42n". This is an
educated guess--but "Beaver and Hunting" is mentioned on page 42,
footnote 9, as one of the Indian months (moons?). Also note that the
"2" key is near the "w" key on a qwertyop keyboard, and there are six
instances of this or similar (probable) mistake in the index--see
below and just above.
Page 347: "discipine, 251" to "discipline, 251".
Page 348: "encylopaedia, 243" to "encyclopaedia, 243". Also "eychre"
to "euchre".
Page 353: "Johanssen" to "Johannsen", to agree with the corresponding
reference on page 275. Also "keylesswatch" to "keyless-watch" to agree
with its page references.
Page 354: in "lot, 31, 51, 52, 5wn", "5wn" to "52n", referencing
footnote 28 anchored on page 52, which discusses "lott".
Page 355: "mass, OR" to "mass, 94", consistent with the logic of the
qwertyop keyboard, see above.
Page 360: "ruby-nonpariel" to "ruby-nonpareil". Also, "saloon-loafer"
to "saloon loafer".
Page 365: "twelvemonth, 114.¶23, 161." to "twelvemonth, 114.¶{word
missing?} 23, 161.", to indicate a possible missing reference word.
Also, the entry "Traveler's Moon, 4wn" is changed to "Traveler's Moon,
42n", referring to footnote 9 on page 42.
Page 366: "Wilkewicz" to "Wilkiewicz".
Page 369: "Buckler, H. G., 314n" to "Buehler, H. G., 314n". This
refers to footnote 20 of Chapter IX. Also, "Gessellschaft" to
"Gesellschaft".
Page 371: "Longfellow, H. W., RI" to "Longfellow, H. W., 48",
consistent with the logic of the qwertyop keyboard, see above.
Page 374: for entry Wilson, Woodrow, "1161" to "161". Also, for
entry Taylor, Bayard, "372" to "312".
A few spelling mistakes have been fixed without remark here.
