The really weird thing is I don't see the mistakeswhen reading in Word but they jump out at me in PDF format were I can't correct them -so I have 2 documents open in parallel -most confusing! 
I really was serious about the book idea - you should think about it. I'm sure you could come up with a great title - the sequel obviously would be called "More Less"  |
Proof reading on screen is very difficult - you need a hard copy and a red pen. I know, I did it for five years.
