Folks, this is the non-cataloger speaking. Would you please look at the last two subject terms and tell me if they're right, or one is a typo, or if both are...

I'm not surprised about the low number. Added vowels are less natural to commit and easier for a proofreader to spot. The classic vowel mistake is a missing...

Here's an interesting typo from the ILL-L list I'm on. The typo is an "l" (ell) instead of an "i" in an abbreviation for a journal. I didn't ask permission to...

This may be related to the new editorial system we're implementing. Because it uses the Arial font, the letter "ell" and the letter "capital eye" are...

Along similar lines, if you check Google you'll see that more than 100 people have actually misspelled "Dubya" as "Duyba." That takes talent. Terry Terry...

I'm trying to catch up on entries for the next update. Terry, what do I do with "fo"? It sounds to me like it goes on the MoreList, but I'm not sure. Tina ... ...
... None as typos in OhioLINK, but 3 as names. ... Operait+ -- 2 in OhioLINK (There was one plural) ... Resuce+ -- 3 in OhioLINK (all without "s" at end) Tina...
... I'm rethinking that score and upgrading it to 5. The other two didn't have "sic" so they still count unless somebody has a good reason not to count them. ...
... How about these: Geotgetown -- 1 Gerog -- 6 (typos for Georg) Goergetown -- 1 "Gerog+" doesn't work because there are a number of surnames that start that...
I found one record that had not only "Geroge" but also: Delcaration+ -- 12 hits in OhioLINK Ecclisial -- 1 hit and (how did we miss this one for so long?) ...
I'm inclined the other way myself. There doesn't seem to be a legitimate word "fo." The non typo entries include things like codes, acronyms, alphabetical...

Tina, Joe could be the last Commerical in a proud family as long as he wrote a book. Since Phalbe has made the call, I'll happily defer to her opinion, and to...
