Hi, that's absolutely okay; this book is admittedly a bit difficult in some of its writing and it reads more clearly in person. Just put your best guess or [illegible], as you've done, and check "Needs Review" by the Preview and Save buttons. We will look over everyone's work as things get submitted. Thank you for your work so far!
