REMARKS.
1. The line connecting the two paragraphs is usually so readily recognized that an additional sign in the margin is not always required.
2. For space at the commencement of a paragraph, see VII., Rem. 2.
IX. Correction to be Disregarded.—Dots placed under a word, and Stet., which means let it stand, written in the margin, indicate that a correction is to be disregarded; as, 25.
X. Broken Letters.—When it is necessary to call the attention of the printer to a broken letter, a line should be drawn under it, and the sign × placed in the margin; as, 21.
REMARK.
It is the custom with some proof-readers to draw a sloping line through the broken letter, and repeat the letter in the margin. This is sometimes a great convenience to the printer, especially when the letter is so badly injured that it can not be recognized; for, unless the printer is familiar with the spelling of the word, it may be necessary, with considerable inconvenience, to refer to the copy.
XI. Transpose.—When two words should change places, the custom is to draw a line over the first, continue it under the second, and write tr., the abbreviation for transpose, in the margin; as, 26.
