+				<p>You can and should update spelling of other words that you come across during proofreading, with the following caveats:</p>
 				<ul>
 					<li>
-						<p>We do not generally bother with changing or removing dashes or spaces from compound words, other than what <code class="terminal">modernize-spelling</code> already handles. For example, our corpus has <code class="html">dining-room</code>, <code class="html">witch-doctor</code>, and hundreds of other words where a space might be more modern, just as we have compounds with spaces where no space might be more modern. Usage changes over time in both directions, and it is simply too large a task to tackle.</p>
+						<p>We modernize <strong>sound-alike spelling</strong>, not grammar or word usage. Thus, updating <code class="html">mak</code> to <code class="html">make</code> is OK, but changing <code class="html">maketh</code> to <code class="html">makes</code> is not.</p>

+						<p>We usually don’t bother with adding or removing dashes or spaces from compound words, other than what <code class="bash"><b>se</b> modernize-spelling</code> does. For example <code class="html">dining-room</code> might read more modern with a space, but dashes and spaces are inconsistent over a large number of words and it’s too much work to keep a master list.</p>

-						<p>We do not change spelling from U.S. to British or vice-versa, even to align with a book’s “language.” Having mixed spelling in a book, i.e. some British, some U.S., was quite common and not something we try to standardize. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences">This article</a> provides a good overview of the differences in spelling between British and U.S. English.</p>
