WHEREAS minor orthographical errors in proposed bills always happen, and are not always caught in time; and, WHEREAS nobody wants to draw up a bill just to fix tiny orthographical errors, so that they just remain as such in our bodies of law; and, WHEREAS the law currently allows for Scribes to propose changes to laws only during them being in the Clark, and at least seven days before voting upon it is finalised, which is not feasible; and, WHEREAS we want our bodies of law to look and be consistent; now

THEREFORE be it enacted by the Ziu that Title C, Section 1, Subsection 2, Subsubsection 3 of the Lexhatx (Lexh.C.1.2.3.) and onward, which currently reads:

1.2.3 If the Scribe, or their deputy(s), finds an error in the formatting, grammar, or spelling of a bill which is currently in the Clark, or is alerted of same, they shall work with the sponsor of the bill to fix said error(s). (48RZ22) 1.2.3.1 The Scribe, or their deputy(s), shall publicize any proposed changes to a bill, with the approval of the author. The changes are deemed to have been implemented after they have been public for seven days, unless the changes are disallowed by the conditions of C.1.2.3.2 (48RZ22) 1.2.3.2 If, before the proposed changes are implemented, a petition of MCs representing at least 1/3 of the seats in the Cosa, or a petition of at least 1/3 of the Senators, goes before the Scribe in protest of the proposed changes to a bill, the changes cannot be implemented. (48RZ22) 1.2.3.3 (48RZ22) 1.2.3.4 (48RZ22)

shall forthwith be replaced with the following text, and thus read as follows:

1.2.3. The Scribe of Abbavilla is tasked with maintaining uniform, and consistent Bodies of Law as to their orthography, and typography. To achieve this, the Scribe is empowered to unilaterally: 1.2.3.1. change any instances of the letters ‘a’ or ‘â’ (A with Circumflex) in feminine nouns or feminine adjectives of Talossan origin, or words derived from such feminine Talossan nouns or adjectives, to the letter ‘ă’ (A with Breve), 1.2.3.2. change any instances of U.S. American orthography found within a statute to reflect the British orthographical standard, such that, e.g. the word ‘misdemeanor’ is respelt as ‘misdemeanour’, 1.2.3.3. change any instances of quotations that use the ambidextrous single quote, also known as typewriter single quote ('), with curved single quotation marks (‘…’), 1.2.3.4. change any instances of quotations that use the ambidextrous double quote, also known as the typewriter double quote ("), with curved double quotation marks (“…”), 1.2.3.5. rectify any obvious orthographical or typographical errors, if these do not change the sense of the word in question.
