ok, i ran a test on the end-of-line hyphenates...
>   http://zenmarkuplanguage.com/grapes119.py
>   http://zenmarkuplanguage.com/grapes119.txt

behold, up popped "first-hand" and "pre-eminently"...

although my dictionary currently accepts these as
fully-joined, non-hyphenated words, _this_ book
treated them both as _hyphenates_, even mid-line,
so i changed them appropriately in my newest text.

that "pre-" made me look at a few other common
compounds, like half-whatever and co-whatever...
that lead me to make a change to "co-ordination".
my dictionary considers it a non-hyphenate, but
this book had a case of "co-ordinating" midline,
so i reinserted the hyphen, just to be consistent...

***

so, our newest version of the text is now here:
>   http://zenmarkuplanguage.com/grapes007.txt

***

plus i did final spellcheck with the book's dictionary...
>   http://zenmarkuplanguage.com/grapes120.py
>   http://zenmarkuplanguage.com/grapes120.txt

we're good to go...

now we can get down to an evaluation of our work...

given that we are now done with the text-cleaning,
i ran a check against my existing text of this book,
which has been _thoroughly_ cleaned many times...

and, all in all, the results were very good.
recall the book is over 200k, and 279 pages.

***

16 lines with o.c.r. errors going uncaught,
most of which were involving _punctuation_.
2 were on a name, which we shoulda checked.

again, all in all, a great performance for
the amount of work we put into cleaning,
a sturdy example of the cost-benefit ratio.
