Thanks, I installed that. This inspired me to check spelling too, a bit of a challenge given all the proper names and foreign words. I found some other issues, fixed in the attached proposed patch.
As a fan of using square brackets to indicate when quoted material has been edited, I've attached diffs to introduce them; the changes also appear below. @dashdashado *** old/asia 2022-03-21 15:19:16.600834300 -0400 --- new/asia 2022-03-21 15:26:06.334146500 -0400 *************** *** 344,354 **** # in the city at the time for people who use different time standard to adjust # their clock to their preferred time. # ! # a.

This inspired me to check spelling too, a bit of a challenge given all the proper names and foreign words. I found some other issues, fixed in the attached proposed patch.

I'm a bit more a fan of the Chicago Manual of Style, which says <https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/16/ch13/ch13_sec007.html>: "Obvious typographic errors may be corrected silently (without comment or sic; see 13.59), unless the passage quoted is from an older work or a manuscript source where idiosyncrasies of spelling are generally preserved." For the changes you mentioned, I think we can avoid a clash in editorial style by omitting rather than correcting some misspellings, by paraphrasing rather than by quoting some, and by updating the dates of your quotes since you're correcting your own comments (that's what I do when correcting my own comments). Proposed patch attached. If you'd still prefer the square-bracket-laden versions of your own quotes, though, please let me know and I'll put those in instead.
