Hey Guys, I went over the first 20 pages today. I tried to goto edit mode from review mode, and it said doing so will turn off track changes for all users, so I left it in review mode. I made a bunch of edits but they will likely show up as suggestions requiring review. If anyone else reading it sees them and wants to approve them be my guest. If you'de rather I approve my own suggestions I will go back and approve them all, and going forward will approve all suggestions as I make them unless I'm uncertain about the nature of the change. I added afew notes, for sections where the meaning was unclear to me, so I'de be curious what you guys think he means in those sections, there was an interesting one about shooting stars "from the eagle" that had me scratching my head...

So happy to see this coming together! I would also be happy to help proof read. I will need to buy a copy of office i guess as I currently use libreoffice and it probably have compatability issues. I am intending to read the book in full, but it may take me a month or 2. I purchased his older Japanese book and have a copy here so I may be able to extract material from that if beneficial.

Also happy to help the proof reading, Bob. I just have an old(er) version of Word but I see that you favour Office 365. I can get that, providing it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Enjoyed Matsumoto's elaboration, on p. 75, of the grass circles he witnessed three days in a row after thunderstorms near Sapporo. Says they were 80 cm wide and 20 cm deep, anti-clockwise pattern. He's the only scientist I'm aware of who has made such observations in connection to CF and BL and also says the process that creates such grass circles could be reproduced in a lab. He's just brilliant and fearless.

Hey Guys, I'm a little behind on my editing duties and I'm just playing catch-up. I have afew questions.

1) Am I correct to understand the sections highlighted yellow in the working doc have already been reviewed and had suggestions applied. As in is it better if I don't make any suggestions to these highlighted yellow sections and just read them in the original PDF?

2) I remember reading a comment in the 20-40 section regarding the approach that we might be going to try and ask Matsumoto for the original documents to help us revive the the forumulas as there was some issue accurately recreating them in office 365. Are we holding off on doing forulas until we talk to him.

3) Lastly there was a comment somewhere about "hydrogens" being changed to "hydrogen atoms" on bulk in the document (find and replace I assumed). I've been manually adding correction suggestions for this change where I spot them, hopefully it isn't going to be creating unnecessary comment approval burden.
