That was quick and very much to the point--thanks! All implemented, committed, and Errata pages updated.
Does anyone have any comments on how often I should post outstanding issues, and how many per post? I intend to focus on the easier ones first (the on to vs. onto thing exists in Books 8-17, 19-28, GS1-4, and FW2-4; I don't see the point in posting each and every one of those occurrences in these posts! ;-) ), sometimes at random, sometimes "themed" such as this batch, and at other times all related to one book with a view to fixing all outstanding issues.However's best for you.
Well, I don't know if certain days are very busy for you, while others are less so, Jon. That said, I wouldn't post another round of queries until the current one has been fully resolved, so I suppose that shouldn't actually matter too much. Hopefully, "themeing" these posts for recurring and related items can help make responses, and time deciding either way, more efficient.
I have knocked another list of onomatopoeic queries for Books 21-28 together, the decisions of which can easily be extrapolated back to Books 1-20. Words under review are: clang, clangs, clanging, click, clicks, clicking, clomp, clomps, clomping, scrunch, scrunches, scrunching, thud, thudding, thuds, whoosh, whooshes, whooshing. There may be other onomatopoeic words that are used less frequently (or I've just forgotten) that are not part of that list. Unless there are clear black-and-white guidelines about what should and should not be italicised (i.e. marked up with <onomatopoeia> tags), I'll post that later or tomorrow.
