CQPweb: Searching for words (part 2)

This talk is a continuation of the previous one. Again, Andrew Hardie hones your skills in Word searching, but this time he is dealing with what is probably the greatest impediment to searching for a word (if, for example, one wants to try and antedate it), namely, spelling variation.

As usual, put any issues or concerns or simply interesting observations in the comments.

We strongly advise you to listen to Andrew Hardie’s talk in one window of your computer, and open up his program, CQPweb, in another, so that you can practice what he is saying as he goes along. Obviously, you will need to pause his talk periodically.
