Total Acceptability
- Insertions

Notes:
For Total Acceptability only those miscues that change the meaning are counted. A meaning change is a deviation from print that results in an ungrammatical sentence or in a grammatical sentence that differs from the author’s intent.
May be ungrammatical or change the meaning of the sentence
Examples are found on page 63.
Because the criteria are different for miscues that are either not accurate or not acceptable. . . The percentages also are different.
See example of Amelia Earhart in handout.
