<p>Lots of different errors can occur during the long and complex process of digitizing a print book, but here are some of the more common ones:</p>
<ul>
<li><h3>Mis-curled quotation marks</h3>
<p>Here we see two frequent errors: a mis-curled double quotation mark following the em-dash, and a mis-curled single quotation mark before the &ldquo;n&rdquo;:</p>

<li><h3>Incorrect or archaic use of quotation marks</h3>
<p>Older texts frequently use quotation marks for names of books and periodicals, or for the names of pubs, inns, and other places. Our <a href="/manual/latest/8-typography">typography manual</a> requires that certain standalone media be in italics instead, and that place names <em>not</em> be set in quotes.</p>

<h3>Using &amp;c. instead of etc.</h3>
<p>&ldquo;etc.&rdquo; is an abbreviation of the Latin <i>et cetera</i>; In Latin, <i>et</i> means &ldquo;and&rdquo;, so older texts often abbreviated <i>et cetera</i> as &ldquo;&amp;c.&rdquo;</p>
