I haven't taken a very good look at the notes yet, but here are a few typos that I happened to spot:

p. 12
after Cuirim, "I send" should be italicized
… directed toward the task). There should only be one period at the end of the sentence.
"I card (wool)." should be italicized
"I spin." should be italicized
"A ball of thread" should be italicized
"Hard; compact" should be italicized
"refereed" should "referred" I think
"Weaver" should be italicized
"Frieze; cloth." and "bandage" should be italicized
"Tailor." should be italicized

p.13
"May should be italicized and not bolded
there should be a comma after "i.e."
1. In Irish … – I would put a comma after the word "Irish" to make the sentence easier to understand.
"During the day" should be italicized
I recommend getting rid of the period after the question mark in "What is the cause?."

p.14
It should be: They were happy to be able to say that they saw the king.
It should be: Perhaps the people who owned it would be asking it, what was causing the delay.

That's all that I happened to come across. I'll try to take a better look at everything to-morrow and let you know if I see anything else.

I've updated the file with your corrections WeeFalorieMan. There is one change that I know has to be made, but
I'm still considering how to explain it in the notes.

Go maire tú is go gcaithe tú é. -

Is common in Conamara too.

Go mairir agus go gcaithir é.

Go maire tú is go gcaithe tú é.

This might be a silly question, but when would you say something like that? I'm just trying to learn the context for this. I know that the story gives a very literal example, but I'm wondering if there are other times when this saying could also be used.

I can only tell my personal experience. I don't know the context it's used in Munster.

When I was young and when anybody got anything new - new shoes, new dress, etc - that was always said. May you [out] live it, and wear it [out].
I suppose it could be used for a new car just as well today.

That sure makes sense when you're talking about clothes because it matches the direct translation that An Lon Dubh gave us: Go mairir agus go gcaithir é – "may you live and [may you] wear it". Also, that saying was used in the story when they were talking specifically about clothes.

The new car example that you mentioned might also work because, besides meaning "I wear", the word caithim can also mean "I use" – I dunno. Well, one thing's for sure – that saying can definitely be used whenever someone is wearing new clothes.

Or spending money or smoking cigarettes! (Caitheann daoine airgead agus caitheann siad tabac!)

And if you smoke cigarettes, while wearing your new clothes bought with money while driving your new car......
