Hi, I just finished reading Warbreaker 4.2, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you very much for putting it online and for the very enjoyable Sunday I spent reading your book. I noticed about two dozen small spelling errors or missing words which I corrected and highlighted in yellow. See the attached file. I also corrected your use of ellipses and hyphens. Ellipses should have spaces around them like "hello . . . kitty", but not "hello. . .kitty". You should only use 4 periods in an ellipses, if quoting from multiple paragraphs, then maintain the punctuation mark from the end of the first paragraph, then add three periods. See: http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/ellipses.asp Example: The big red chicken was ugly and had scabbies. It did not act like a normal chicken but it did like to peck and scratch, looking for worms Then quote in this way: "The big red chicken was ugly and had scabbies. . . . it did like to peck and scratch, looking for worms." You generally should not use a hyphen when you have an adverb which modifies an adjective, as you did in this case: She walked with her head down on a mostly-empty street. WarbreakerFull4.2.doc.zip
