Hi all,

Handsomer, just like handsomest, should use the some sign:

 ..,j wait until y gr{ up & >e h&"sr
don't y ?9k ! lad wd 2 h&"sr cropp$8
9 ! _w3 h&"sr1 possibly1 & ri*} ?an he
h&"sr & f9} fell{ ?an ,jack %e _h n"e
  ,he 0 h&"sr ?an h} "m1 t 0 cle>4 ,%e

(There was a space at the end of the line for hadean which is why that
line was replaced in the patch.)

Words beginning with "beid" should have these letters spelled out. I
have only one example from Web-/Braille, but I know that Bix
Beiderbecke's name looks very sttrange too:

hunk ( ,beid}mei} pa/ry1 did n

Also, there was an error in Beijing, which should use the ing sign:

 ,s}vice 9 ,beij+1 reque/+         #eaa
 pilgrimage1 n 6,%anghai or ,beij+ b
 ,beij+ at #b3aj 9 ! afn4 ,!y 7 greet$
   ,_! f/ afn 9 ,beij+1 ,may #h1 !y _h
   ,ru? & h} family /ay$ 9 ,beij+ two
