5.3 Standards, representatives and deviants. Initially every spelling is by default a standard in its own group. As groups are formed the spellings remain standards and the most frequent standard becomes the representative for the group. However, the expert may specify any other standard to be the representative. When another more frequent representative is brought into the group, it becomes the new representative, but can lose this status at the whim of the expert. In the group browse window the expert may mark bad spellings, abbreviations, and certain inflectional forms as deviants, i.e., non-standard spellings. The expert indicates which standard the deviant spelling is to be associated with. Deviants are no longer members of the group and may be associated with standards in other groups. In fact it may be quite common for a standard in one group to be a deviant spelling to a standard in the same or another group.
