===== Critical / obvious errors =====

Likely copy-paste, editor leftovers, or clear typos. These should be fixed before the next PDF generation.

===== UK vs US English =====

The book rules ([[en:iot-open:rules|Writing rules]]) specify UK English. The following US forms appear in reviewed pages (official document titles may stay as published):

<table proofread_ukus>
<caption>UK vs US English</caption>
^ Page ^ US form found ^ UK form ^
| [[en:multiasm:piot:chapter_4_1]] | `revolutionizing` | `revolutionising` |
| [[en:multiasm:piot:chapter_4_10]] | `optimization` | `optimisation` |
</table>

<note>References to vendor documents such as "Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Optimization" and "Software Optimization Guide" should retain the original published titles.</note>

===== Terminology notes (optional improvements) =====

These are not strict errors but worth standardising across the book:

  * **Assembler language** — several pages use `the assembler language` or `in the assembler language`. Common technical English prefers **assembly language** or **programming in assembler** (without `the`).
  * **Incrementation / decrementation** — used in [[en:multiasm:cs:chapter_3_10]] and [[en:multiasm:papc:chapter_6_7]]. Acceptable in technical writing, but **increment** / **decrement** or **pre-increment** / **post-decrement** are more usual.
  * **Arithmetical** — [[en:multiasm:cs:chapter_3_4]] uses `arithmetical calculations`; **arithmetic** is more common in UK technical English.
  * **Authors page** — [[en:multiasm:authors]] uses `M. sc.`; standard form is **M.Sc.**

----

===== Overall assessment =====

The reviewed material is largely accurate and professional, especially in the computer architecture chapters ([[en:multiasm:cs]]). Most issues are:

  * isolated editor or translation leftovers (Norwegian text, test caption, `Fing`, `I` vs `It`);
  * inconsistent wording (`hypothetic` / `hypothetical`, `This course` vs book context);
  * article use with **assembler** (`an assembler` vs **assembler**);
  * heading and image caption formatting.

**Highest priority fixes:** [[en:multiasm:piot:chapter_4_8]] (Norwegian text), [[en:multiasm:piot:chapter_4_5]] (`Fing`, `elmp`, `LMP`), [[en:multiasm:papc:chapter_6_1]] (`I` → `It`), and [[en:multiasm:cs:chapter_3_12]] (interrupt section grammar).
