Another thing that seems to happen frequently in some scans is that the
letter I is recognized as an L. In that case, of course, I search for space
L space. Like Cindy, I usually replace them one at a time... Just in case!

Yes, I've found it to be a common scanno--and one that can be missed even when one with sight reads the books. When I find it once, I do a find and replace, replacing, one at a time, space 1 space with space I space. I do it carefully, though, one replacement at a time rather than a global replace, in case the number is supposed to be there, which happens rarely, but still. And if, as in the book I'm doing now, the 1 is instead of the I in a set of capital letters (acronym for an organiztion) I find and replace that, too.

I don't know whether this should be on Jake's tips list but lately I have started searching for 1 instead of I in the books I validate; this seems to be a very common scanning error and, of course, it isn't reporeted in rank spelling. It also often occurs as one of those extraneous characters too.
