> "Standard" Ebooks also make their own non-standard editorial changes I take the name to mean that their books all follow a “standard” (i.e., single, consistent) style guide. > to modernize the language of the books. SE will update archaic spellings, if they’re homonyms (e.g., ‘akehorn’ → ‘acorn,’ ‘centrys’ → ‘sentries’). I used to make similar substitutions in my own ebooks in the past, so clearly I’m in SE’s target market. SE won’t update language in other ways as far as I know (they won’t censor or replace “problematic” words), or modernize punctuation in any way that changes meaning. But if that’s not your cup of tea, Standard Ebooks does provide links both to scans of the original printed book and to the Project Gutenberg transcription, and marks editorial changes in the commit message so anyone who wants to can revert just the spelling changes. > in practice it would take a lot of work to revert them. I’m not sure what more you’d suggest them to do, other than stop using a style guide at all—which is the whole raison d’être of the project.
