*Ø* The perils of OCR
Optical Character Recognition software is improving all the time, but, like online translators, still has a way to go.
An example of how OCR can bedevil web publishers but bring hilarity to web readers may be found in Paragraph 4.208 in the chapter on Count Cagliostro (that's Count, I said Count Cagliostro) in Charles Mackay's classic Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds which is online here. Should I tell the publishers?
Naaaaah!
Nup.
