I gather the latest version of me book is being sent out. The Rivetess, isolated as she is in her distant den, looked for the version on her email so mine wouldn't pick up on the stored old one. (Deleting the book and using CCleaner makes no difference.) Within ten seconds she found I'd misspelled my (new) Dedication to Gene Roddenberry. Roddneberry is what I put.

Next ver I suppose. After all the bloopers are reported to me.

Actually, when you upload the book for the first time, Kindle spell-checks the incoming. It only reported made up 3 words like splish, and boomf. Plus it picked up on wrent for rent, as in asunder. That was it in 232,000 words . . . probably.

I wonder if it would have noticed Roddneberry. This (FF) speller is picking it out and offering the correct spelling. As is MS Word. Nice to be famous.

Huh, the British Office of National Statistics database does not list one.
