If you ever need any proofreading, let me know as I do it for a living. Of course, I may not always know to use your favorite/favourite spelling and the like. Do the Brits use "jewellery" instead of "jewelry" as well, or is that just Canada?
Oh and as for this site, which I love (great job all involved!!!), I noticed one thing so far that irks me every time I see it. The description for the Polls section under each continent has "it's" when it should be "its". Nothing critical of course, just trying to help.

Re: Proofreading
Sean,
I'll have to own up to that one!
Will change it when I get back home tomorrow evening. The wifi has been a bit flaky over here today and I don't want to risk it dropping out in the middle of an edit.

I am a compositor and proof reader by trade. I drive people mad pointing out their mistakes all the time. I can't just read an article - I automatically proof read it as well.

I knew there was a reason I liked you so much Billy Whiz! =) It's a sickness we have, reading the sides of vans on the streets etc. Crazy we are!Billy Whiz wrote:Sean
