http://faithpromotingrumor.com/2017/09/07/a-plea-to-the-writers-of-seminary-manuals/

One example of several is this:

&#062; In fact, rather than trying to subtly undermine the Book of Mormon, we have comprehensive evidence that the compositor, John Gilbert, was a consummate professional who worked hard to get the words right. He consulted his Bible when he was unsure of wording in the Isaiah quotations, he carefully and sensitively punctuated the text (most of the punctuation in our current edition originated with Gilbert), and he even made some cautious conjectural emendations when he felt like the actual words did not make sense. (Royal Skousen, a very conservative editor, accepted a majority of Gilbert’s emendations, a higher percentage than those put forward by Oliver Cowdery, Joseph Smith, or any of the later editors, including Skousen himself).]]></description>
