Counted words list - looking for more outstanding corrections

The words that start or end with a hyphen need checking & correcting, as do a few words that are not spelled correctly.

[DavidHaslam]

From the above, here are the words that either start or end with a hyphen:

00004   -
00001   -and
00001   -churches
00001   -days
00001   -doing
00001   -go
00001   -Lord
00001   -their
00001   -up
00001   -whom
00001   -you
00001   ate-
00001   fellow-
00001   free-
00001   gave-
00001   it-
00001   like-
00001   Lord-
00001   of-
00001   speaks-
00001   stood-
00002   the-
00001   three-
00001   which-

Status: These OCR errors have been fixed in the local SFM files (unless I've inadvertently missed any).

Aside: None of the corrections required a quotation dash.

As it happens, I did miss these: (fresh results after reconverting to OSIS).

00003   -
00001   -whom
00001   Lord-

[DavidHaslam]

The inconsistent use of a hyphen needs checking for some words.

Example:

00001   fellowservant
00005   fellow-servant
00004   fellow-servants

Clearly, the word fellowservant must be a mistake.

Status: Fixed hyphen in Col.1.7

[DavidHaslam]

And I missed a correction involving the ligature æ:

00001   Hymenæus
00001   Hymenaeus

<verse sID="2Tim.2.17" osisID="2Tim.2.17" n="17" />and their word will eat as a gangrene: of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,<verse eID="2Tim.2.17" />

Status: Fixed in local SFM file.

[DavidHaslam]

Some word prefices seem to have been left isolated:

00003   ac
00002   ex

Found in:

<verse sID="Gal.4.29" osisID="Gal.4.29" n="29" />But as then, he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was born ac cording to the Spirit, so even now.<verse eID="Gal.4.29" />
<verse sID="Col.2.8" osisID="Col.2.8" n="8" />See that no one make you the victims of imposture by means of philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not ac cording to Christ:<verse eID="Col.2.8" />
<verse sID="Heb.4.13" osisID="Heb.4.13" n="13" />And there is no creature which is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked, and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an ac count.</p><p><verse eID="Heb.4.13" />
<verse sID="Luke.23.5" osisID="Luke.23.5" n="5" />But they became the more urgent, and said: He ex cites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.<verse eID="Luke.23.5" />
<verse sID="Acts.20.35" osisID="Acts.20.35" n="35" />In all things I have taught you by ex ample, that by thus laboring, you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus; for he himself said, It is more blessed to give, than to receive.</p><p><verse eID="Acts.20.35" />

Status: Fixed these 5 instances in the local SFM files.

[DavidHaslam]

There are these OCR errors:

00005   ho

located here as mistakes for he or no :

<verse sID="Matt.17.15" osisID="Matt.17.15" n="15" />and said: Lord, have mercy on my son; for ho is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
<verse sID="Mark.12.1" osisID="Mark.12.1" n="1" />And ho began to speak to them in parables: A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and digged a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went into another country.
<verse sID="Mark.13.27" osisID="Mark.13.27" n="27" />And then will ho send his angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the most distant part of earth to the most distant part of heaven.
<verse sID="Luke.20.11" osisID="Luke.20.11" n="11" />And ho then sent another servant. But they scourged him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
<verse sID="John.4.11" osisID="John.4.11" n="11" />The woman said to him: Sir, you have ho vessel with which you can draw, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water?

Status: Fixed these 5 instances in the local SFM files.

[DavidHaslam]

Again:

00001   ID

OCR mistake for in

<verse sID="John.17.23" osisID="John.17.23" n="23" />I in them, and thou ID me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Status: Fixed in the local SFM file.

[DavidHaslam]

I rather suspect that one of the apparently missing verses is due to an OCR error for a verse tag:

<verse sID="2Cor.4.17" osisID="2Cor.4.17" n="17" />For our present light affliction works out for us an eternal fullness of glory, excelling all excellence, ls while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen: for the things seen are temporal; but the things not seen are eternal.
<verse eID="2Cor.4.17" />

The verse tag for 18 was misread as ls.

Status: Fixed my downstream local copy of the SFM file.

[DavidHaslam]

Another one:

00001   tn

Location:

<verse sID="1Tim.6.16" osisID="1Tim.6.16" n="16" />who alone has immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man has seen, nor can see, tn whom be honor and power eternal. Amen.

Should be to.

Status: Fixed in the local SFM file.

[DavidHaslam]

Another:

00001   Le

Location:

<verse sID="Luke.14.11" osisID="Luke.14.11" n="11" />For every one that exalts himself shall Le humbled; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

Should be be.

Status: Fixed in the local SFM file.

The task of an archivist isn't to fix perceived errors, but to record the content as it was.

This line of replacing dashes and removing spaces and respelling unhyphenated words as hyphenated words due to consistency... We should be following the printed edition, and not going away from that. Here' I'm pointing to "removing spaces or adding dashes" for consistency across the work.

Now there's an issue where an obvious typographical error creates a meaning change. In cases like a missing "not" in the statement "do not commit adultery" it is an archivist's task to not present a flawed text. Some archivists mark the repair in some way. I'm neutral on that. I personally support that the meaningful typo should be restored to its intended reading without marking it, but I wouldn't seek to remove someone elses marks, and if I was making a single change to a work that had them, I'd follow the convention in place.

None of the issues here are meaning based that I can see, only presentational. In the form that appears here (USFM) dashes (Hyphen-Minus: Ux2D) are preferred, not publishing time presentational markup. This is driven by the convention of 'what tools will an editor use, and have ready for them.' That is, if someone opens a file and adds to it, it is likely to have dashes (Ux2D) added and not and of the others (Ux2010, Ux2012, Ux2013, Ux2014, Ux2015, Ux2027, Ux2043). Because of this, the 'source' should be keyboard friendly.

There is a best method to use "--" to indicate an endash, and "---" to indicate an emdash to the compositor.

At the point of publishing (and for the OSIS file, and for my OpenDocument and Indesign import files) I do recommend fixing the dashes into the presentation forms.

However for the USFM source, editors use the key that is present nearly universally, and compositors mostly deal with forming the dashes into their various iterations at the time of publication. I'm sure you'll see variation from this when investigating USFM. However, In cases where USFM represents 'source' meaning the culmination of an editors work, you'll see this followed more often than not. All dashes are the low ascii dash.

[cmahte]

I do suspect many of what you've listed are variations from the printed text and do need to be fixed. But the fix should be either to the printed edition, or due to a meaningful error (what appears doesn't mean what the editor obviously meant it to mean.)

But proceed with this suggestion however you see fit.. I'm not about to overrule or undo any changes made here. :-) your work adds to this. I'm just laying down the guidance I work with.

[DavidHaslam]

Each correction is first checked in the PDF. If any of my initial conjectures are mistaken, so be it. It’s merely comment.

If a quotation dash is observed in the PDF, that’s what should go in the SFM.

Third party keyboard limitations are quite irrelevant.

The aim is to represent the original text accurately, not to include any kludge that was due in earlier years to the limitations of ANSI.

The digital text can make suitable use of the relevant Unicode characters.

[DavidHaslam]

I’m making good progress going through all these items, despite some other pleasant interruptions during my day.

[DavidHaslam]

I’m recording them all in git as fixes to OCR error[s].

That’s what they all are - so far at least.

[cmahte]

.... I've been working for nearly 2 years sporadically on the 1911 bible. One of my struggles is the colon vs. semicolon. In the scans of the edition, there appears to be one or 2 peices of lead that come into play that are so ambiguous as to nearly be a 3rd mark in between a colon and semicolon. In a very few places where the 1911 OCR edition varies from the ebible KJV, I end up with 6 copies of KJV and derivatives open searching for whether the semicolon or colon has more precedent, and whether if it does... does the resulting reading change meaning at all between the two. Commas vs. periods aren't nearly so hard. but the colon vs. semicolon... especially with the lead type used... It makes for a slow process at times when that/those variant demicolons were on the top of the typesetters pile.

[DavidHaslam]

That's 106 hits out of a total of 414 words, the rest being words with an uppercase initial letter.

A few of these are worth looking into more closely.

NB. DSpellCheck counts a hyphen as a non-word character, so in effect it splits hyphenated words.

[DavidHaslam]

This pair is worth comparing:

00001   well-pleasing
00001   wellpleasing

Status: Changed the latter to well-pleasing.

The hyphen just happened to be at the word-wrap location.
