Rich, typos and spilling misteaks by PM, or is it too late to kill them dead before the real rules go to print?

Edit to add more comments on the new shiny:
- simplified Initiative - thank you, thank you, thank you! Loss of the DG effect is unfortunate, but so much easier otherwise.
- simplified Driving & Explosives - good!
- it looks like the "spillover" damage & DR save is gone? IE if a WS5 pistol hits a DR4 location, that chance of a 2nd wound is gone?

ANY typos you find, you can PM me with page number and section up until tomorrow morning.

Now, 2 and 3 wounds can still be caused. Look at the Wounding section. Double and Triple WS over DR will still cause multiple wounds.

As someone who didn't actually play first edition, I've been waiting for 2nd, I'm not well versed in the various stats and what the shorthands mean. Certainly they are all pointed out very clearly in the rules but as such a new player I often find myself having to check back and forth while reading when I come to a shorthand for a stat which breaks up my learning of the rules somewhat.

I have tried to eliminate the shorthand for stats. The only two that I know are used consistently throughout that I did not remove are DR (Defensive Rating) and WS (Weapon Strength). Those two were just too long to keep typing (had to give my fingers some kind of break  lol ) If you find others that I have missed, again, you can PM me up until tomorrow morning.

Finally, THANK YOU for all the comments so far. I can't believe that in less than 24 hours over 300 people have downloaded the demo rules. I know that over the course of 5 years I had sold a few rulebooks, but it still makes it all worthwhile to see the sudden rush of people wanting to get them.

I think WS was probably the one I noticed the most so it probably isn't as common as I thought ... I'm still trying to re-wire my brain as I played GW games for 15+ years so WS still makes me think Weapon Skill automatically.

Hopefully I can have a better read this evening, but really it all looks great.
