add a note about capitalization -- unlike expansions in square brackets, there's

DCRM(G) globally added the note "“[the]” replaces the brevigraph “<span class="gmail-SourcetextChar" style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"><span style="font-size:10pt">y</span></span><span class="gmail-SourcetextChar" style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Cambria Math",serif">ͤ</span></span>” on the material" each time "[the]"
appears because it's very common in handpress era prints, and the community is
accustomed to using "[th]e" or "ye" when transcribing it, so the
people test-driving the manual kept thinking a missing word had been supplied
by the cataloger. </p>

retrospect, I wish the Chief Editor of DCRM(G) [who happens to have been me]
hadn't given up the fight on that one. Using [the] and [that] instead of [th]e
and [tha]t when there's a thorn with an "e" or a "t" on top
of it continues to confuse . </p>

thing came up when writing DCRM(MSS), but the published text gets around the
issue by omitting Appendix G, and by avoiding examples with a thorn. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Erin.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><a name="_MailAutoSig"><span style="font-size:7.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">----------------<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.75in;background:white;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif;color:rgb(68,68,68)">Review for capitalization. Acc. to Chicago, although 'king' and other such titles are now lower case when used alone (8.23, 8.32: e.g. the king of Jordan), honorific titles including personal
pronouns are still upper case (8.23, 5.40: e.g. Queen Elizabeth, Her Majesty the Queen of England). the Kynges Noble Grace is therefore upper case.
