Forget a plugin - the red penis your friend
Now there's a subtle but amusing demonstration of the need for human proofreading!

If one wrote one's posts in ePUB-ese then one could use CalibUser's Tidy Tool plugin to identify matches against a list of 'suspect' words. But then we'd need an ePUB-ese to BBCode-ese converter plug-in

Actually. . . the ePUB Tidy Tool PI could be a pragmatic solution to KatyPerryFan4Eva's request. Specifically it's Customised error list options. I just read its doco - there's more there than I realised.

I confess it's not mine. (Alas *sigh*)

The authors reading is the real kicker. (Youtube has it)

One could ask for an equivalent about translations, but there's Google Translate for that (and YES there are people out there thinking it's output is "good enough")
