Since you guys are at it, how about hiring a proofreader?

If anyone needs a proofreader it's the gang at IGN. I've almost emailed an application to be an editor considering how many errors seem to slip though their sights.

I'm not saying the writing's bad (it isn't), but if I notice even one mistake, it bothers me.

I volunteer my services as an E3 correspondent if you need someone?
I just cleared my schedule for the beginning of June just for NWR, so I hope you make your decision soon.

p.s. this is a serious post.

I know what you mean. I'm a stickler even in forum posts and the other day I was chatting with an old friend on facebook and it took me a bit to adjust to the lack of punctuation and grammar. Quite funny as I felt I was breaking a law when I attempted to drop half my grammar. I hadn't chatted in a good while.

I don't notice all that many errors on NWR articles. I know you require someone else to check all your reviews before they are posted so that seems to get most of the glaringly obvious errors. A different pair of eyes does wonders to the editing process.
