I found an error in the text I'm transcribing at work from that Civil War exhibit I mentioned. Nathan Bedford Forrest's last name is used with only a single 'r'. However, the misspelling occurs in a quotation of a diary from the period. I don't know whether it's an error by the original transcriber, or if it's actually a correct quotation of an error in the source material (which, by the way, is in Welsh, so even if I could look at it myself I doubt I could make heads or tails of it). This is how we get generational error.

That said, I suspect the original transcriber has already done a bit of correction since everything is nicely capitalized and punctuated to modern English standards.

Interview transcription takes soooo looong. I thought I'd just listen and write up my little paper, but I just kind of need to have the text in front of me. Still, said text is getting sloppier and slopper as I go along....
