I feel your pain. Grammar errors are everywhere. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 01/02/2011 04:25:09 AM
I'm interested in your experiences because as a technical writer I spot mistakes, errors, and so on in books and magazines all the time.


As someone who paid attention to elementary school English, I see them too. :P

(Not making fun of you. It's just that some of these mistakes are freaking ridiculous. I get it if someone mixes up "that" and "which," but I just played a game that told me "Your all healed up." I was less than impressed.)
