Codificación

This book was originally typeset in Gent, Belgium under guidance of the author. However, still a large number of errors remained. This edition normally tries to retain the original spelling of words, it, however, includes a number of editorial changes.

Missing reversed exclamation and question marks have been supplied.

In general, seemingly inconsistent spellings with accents are corrected to match the more frequent form, including:

OriginalReplacement
áa
jamásjamas
fuéfue
detrasdetrás
masmás
-ia(s,n), -io(s)-ía(s,n), -ío(s)

The last row covers many different cases, mostly past tenses, where it seem the accented form is more frequent in general, so that has been used.

In a few cases, the decision was made arbitrarily, as both forms where equally frequent:

OriginalReplacement
crímencrimen
orígenorigen
imágenimagen

A few inconsistencies remain, such as:
