<3 <3 <3 Project Gutenberg! I love it so much that I've gone back to doing proofreading/formatting for their projects @ distributed proofreaders. It's so friggin' fun, of course, I'm strange. It's super fun to contribute to such an awesome site. Now I just need to go on a search for books in the public domain to scan and upload. That's my goal. That and doing the post processing/assembly of the completed projects.

I tried that but ended up quitting as the book I was proofing was using old english or some language that used different spellings and speech then modern day books

Ack, that's annoying. I had one the other day with tons of latin. Definitely not my thing. I messed with it for about 15 minutes and finally gave up haha. And a lot of them, because of age, do tend to have at least some spelling/grammar differences. I've been doing so much I'm afraid I may start spelling in the silliness (or with British spellings :P).
