oh joy

An entire chapter where the contributing author has spelt "fiber" as "fibre" (and, yes, both are accepted, but "fiber" is more common in our field and has been used through the rest of the volume). And I get to go through the whole thing and correct each one. Because, see, the chapter is interespersed with quotations form a treaty which have to be left in the treaty's original UK-English spelling and format. So no "search and replace" note for me.

Very warm in here; I should have put the shades down earlier. I'm dozing; just a few minutes ago I suddenly realized the Humbert Humphrey was saying, "Yes, I *was* at those meetings, and [sarcastically] of course I knew then what I know now."

No, I have no idea where that came from. Though apparently it had to do with point source pollution in a major lake...

Sometimes I think my head just receives radio waves from other places and times...

I just spent two days changing "programme" and "colour" and "criticise" and crap like that.
Of course, the same author also presented me with gems like "simplicistic," "envronmetal," "weel-balaned," and, my personal favorite, "theasurizing."

What in the sam hell ...?!

"You're in America now, speak American!"

harumph.
