| (er) | 21: | enemy launch -> enemy launches [LM] [jb: This is an "enemy horde" so enemy is used here in a collective sense. OK as-is.] |
| (er) | 26: | well known -> well-known [SD] [jb: An adverb-adjective modifier doesn't need a hyphen. OK as-is.] |
| (er) | 26, 80, 112, 163, 169, 341: | healing -> Healing |

| (er) | 30: | crowd burst -> crowd bursts (crowd singular cf ref 236) [LM] [jb: Each individual in the crowd can laugh as it is here, but in 236 each individual can't flow around you. :) OK as-is.] |

| (ft) | 44: | [lm: no endurance loss from the arrow?] [jb: The penalty seems to be solely the effective -5 CS penalty when compared with 261. Perhaps it is best to leave this as-is and unfootnoted?] |
| (er) | 46, 122, 209, 227: | camouflage -> Camouflage |

| (er) | 57, 85, 312: | segments which -> segments, which [SD: long sentence] [jb: OK as-is. A reader may need to breath in the middle of a sentence, but that's not how commas are used in more formal writing.] |
| (er) | 57, 85, 312: | doorway and fill the -> doorway and fills the (subject of 'fill' must be 'it'; the 'large segments' themselves didn't fill the room with dust) [LM] [jb: I see where this is coming from. The segments of the statue could fill the room with dust as well as the statue as a whole could. The sentence reads like like it's wrong when the suggested change is made. I vote for leaving as-is.] |
| (er) | 58: | custom? [lm: this is the first time i've heard this word used this way. i guess it's where we get the word customer from, but i couldn't find this defintion in the dictionary; so, i'm checking if it's correct] [so: Using 'custom' in this way is completely correct, yes.] |

| (er) | 129, 269: | crew scream -> crew screams [LM] [jb: Same justification as 126. Leave as-is.] |
| (er) | 135: | city guardsmen -> City Guardsmen [jb: Our manual of style allows us to make a judgment call on this (if it didn't I would fix it) and it seems unnecessary to capitalize here. The phrase is generic enough that I think it would give the wrong impression to capitalize. I doubt that City Guardsmen is the formal name of their group.] |
| (er) | 136, 157: | or more -> or higher |
| (er) | 146: | [Bir Rabalou--160 miles.] [SD: Signpost info. Not ALL CAPS in original text; should be changed for consistency] |

| (er) | 176, 311: | Alright -> All right [tp] [bk: According to http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alright "Although 'alright' is a common spelling in written dialogue and in other types of informal writing, 'all right' is used in more formal, edited writing." Since both of these uses are in dialogue, I'd say reject.] [tp: In my experience, the emphasis is on informal rather than "written dialogue". "Alright" is usually treated as a nonstandard synonym of "all right". But I'd accept it in dialogue if that's the prevailing opinion] [jb: Regardless of pronunciation, I think "alright" can help convey in the reader's mind a colloquial feeling even it it isn't pronounced differently (especially readers who know that "alright" is frowned on). As Grammar Girl pointed out "[the] American Heritage Guide to Contemporary Usage and Style [...] states that 'alright' as one word 'has never been accepted as standard' but it then goes on to explain that 'all right' as two words and 'alright' as one word have two distinct meanings. It gives the example of the sentence 'The figures are all right.' When you use 'all right' as two words, the sentence means 'the figures are all accurate.' When you write 'The figures are alright,' with 'alright' as one word, this source explains that the sentence means 'the figures are satisfactory.'" I think "alright" is headed toward standardization anyway. I vote for reject.] |
| (er) | 178: | you know, they insist -> you know they insist [SD: One comma too many in this sentence] [jb: OK as-is. There's no quota on commas. ] |

| (er) | 179: | clangs [onomatopoeia] [SD: Probably not emphatic or noticeable enough to be regarded as onomatopoeic (background noise would perhaps best describe it. Compare with section 252 - this [clang] is of enough significance to consider italicizing.] |
