Subject: Errors in transcription vs. errors in original (Re: Bosworth/Toller, page b0801, entry 7)

Hi,
There's two kinds of errors: 1) cases where the electronic text fails to correctly match the original paper text, and 2) cases where Bosworth and Toller made a mistake in the paper version.
If it's an error of the second type, can you please note this when reporting an error? If it's the first kind of error, the fix we need to make is just to change the text; but if it's the second type, it would be better if we include tags in the electronic text to indicate the original error and its correction.
Thank you,
--Sean
