The problem is, you removed too many of them.

For example, any use of "magic" where no real magic (as in Gandalf
coming in and performing it) should be quoted, because the literal
meaning is too far-fetched.  Likewise in other similar situations,
like with "future history".  Likewise when using words that are not
correct English (flagged by spell-checker), such as "fullboth".

I attempted to fix the worst offenders I found in commit 31ff037.
