[Evergreen-catalogers] MARC Editor spellcheck suggestion

[Jane Sandberg]

I really like the sound of that, Carissa!

Also, OCLC Connexion automatically makes sure that there are enough
spaces between subfields whenever you save the record.  It's so great!

For example, you can type this:

Clinical guide to gastroenterology /ǂcedited by Yang Chen

... and it turns into this when you save the record:

Clinical guide to gastroenterology / ǂc edited by Yang Chen

Maybe that's another thing we could consider?

After running into several incorrectly-formatted records in the NTLC catalog, I’d like to add to that suggestion that a spellcheck/validation tool checks to make sure the correct punctuation is used between subfields.
