Candidate rules
Spelling rules suggested by comparing our TCP originals, word by word, with Project Puritas's modernised editions of the same books. A candidate is not a rule: nothing changes in the reader until a reviewer approves it, which creates a real rule with the evidence as its rationale. Every preview below is our own text, as printed and then with the candidate applied, marked as the reader marks it.
77,018 candidates: 77,018 waiting, 0 approved, 0 dismissed · latest import puritas-full-2026-10-19. Consistency is how often Puritas made the change where it had the word on its own; reach is how many places a rule would change across the whole corpus, estimated from the works compared.
