Hi Paul, Here are colon related tweaks though Chapter 9. Patches 1/6 -- 3/6 don't change sentences/clauses/phrases except for capitalization. Patches 4/6 -- 6/6 remove redundant looking Oxford commas in two-item enumeration lists. However, I'm not sure Patches 4/6 -- 6/6 are the right fixes or not. Please pick whichever ones you'd like.

This one is lead by "After all," not by a colon, and I kept the lowercase words following (1) and (2). This level of fluctuation is unavoidable in natural language text, I suppose.
