Wes - would like to try, if you like - I was pretty nearly force-fed the Webster's Unabridged while in school - every time I asked what does this word mean, I was told:

GO LOOK IT UP!

I can offer a sample of my efforts for your inspection if desired - it's an exhaustive proofreading, with minor corrections of a favorite by Porter (the author of Freckles)

I have before and after files on hand.
