Lanenscheidt" probably refers to "Prof. F. Langenscheidt", but the original spelling has been retained because it is repeated in an Index entry. Also, in "/Sprachen und Literaturen/ by Prof. Felix Flügel,[21]", changed the footnote anchor to 31. Page 20: quotation mark added to the end of "we have no dialects.". Page 42, footnote 9: "/Beaver and Hunting/" changed to /Beaver/ and /Hunting/. Page 66, footnote 6, "Lewis and Clarke" changed to "Lewis and Clark" (but recall that footnotes have been moved to the ends of chapters--so this particular footnote now appears between pages 96 and 97.). Page 92: "a-n-aice" on page 92 appears as "a-ñ-aice" in the index on page 340. Page 103, footnote 4: this footnote was printed on two lines, which originally were printed incorrectly in reverse order. They have been switched. Page 108, footnote 9: the original phrase "/Cf./ Don't Shy at /Journalist, the Editor and Publisher and Journalist/, June 27, 1914." seemed to have the italics placed incorrectly. This phrase was changed to "/Cf./ Don't Shy at Journalist, /The Editor and Publisher and Journalist/, June 27, 1914". Page 112, footnote 14: opening quotation mark added to "has so ingrained itself". Page 124, footnote 29: "universites" is misspelled, but it is not entirely clear that this is a mistake. Page 125, footnote 32: changed "Enlishman" to "Englishman". Page 157, closing quotation mark added to "und gehn in /street/ für a /walk/.". Page 163: "/shoot-the-chutes and grape-juice-diplomacy/" changed to "/shoot-the-chutes/ and /grape-juice-diplomacy/". Page 172: "/vois avez/" probably should be "/vous avez/", but has been retained as the incorrect form appears also in the index. Page 173, footnote 90: "Essai Raissoné dur la Grammaire" changed to "Essai Raisonné sur la Grammaire". Page 214: "they and thine" to "thy and thine". Page 226: "(=wide)" to "(=/wide/)". Page 251: "macheen" to "masheen". This change agrees with an entry in the index, and fits the context better. Page 278: "Karzeniowski" to "Korzeniowski", both here and in the corresponding index entry on page 353. Page 279, footnote 24: "flaggelation" to "flagellation". Page 282: "/Drewry/, /Droit/," to "/Drewry/, /Droit/;". Page 296: "discreet" would probably be considered incorrect now, but this word is present in Webster's Unabridged Dictionaries published in 1913 and in 1828. Page 297, footnote 44: "decisons" to "decisions". Page 310: "you mean /cant/. No, I don't." changed to "you mean /cant/."¶"No, I don't." (Two quotation marks, and a paragraph break inserted). Page 315, footnote 22: "spokne" to "spoken". Page 331: "Prounciation" to "Pronunciation". Page 340: "anemia, 242, 262" to "anemia, 242, 263". Also, in "anti-fogmatic, IR", "IR" to "84". Note that the "I" and "R" keys are close to the "8" and "4" keys on a qwertyop keyboard. Page 341: "Beaver Moon, 4wn" changed to "Beaver Moon, 42n". This is an educated guess--but "Beaver and Hunting" is mentioned on page 42, footnote 9, as one of the Indian months (moons?). Also note that the
