Title: Spelling and grammar
Post by: Philip on May 13, 2009, 02:06:24 pm
I confess to being a perfectionist (read anal) regarding the correct use of English. So I always notice spelling and grammar mistakes. I know that English is not the first language for some of you guys and your English is far better than my German/Swedish/Dutch. But seeing as we are writing our EMF letters in English, I offer my services as a spelling/grammar checker. I have noticed mistakes in some posts which don't matter to us, but if you require any help with the correct use of the apostrophe or anything like that, I would be happy to help you. Anything that supports a clearer understanding between us and our other halves can't be bad.
If you are interested, let me know. If not, tell me where to go. Hey, that rhymes;)

Alex, you're funny!  I enjoy reading these posts!  Hey, did I get the apostrophe right? Or is it correct? Or maybe the placement correct?:D

Peter, it is not because of your bad spelling...it is because you take unsuspecting people into Chinese spa's.  Don't think I have forgiven you for this!
