You know, I just thought of something: Abandonia doesn't need a grammar editing group at all. Reviews for each Abandonia site should only be submitted by native speakers, thus eliminating poorly written reviews altogether.

Respectfully, I disagree. I've seen shockers from those for whom English is a first language as well as those who come from non-English speaking countries. I usually spend up to an hour editing the reviews, so it'll be great not to have to spend that extra time updating. I'm really grateful for the work of the Grammer Busters.

In actuality, the Grammar Squad will help a lot more people get involved, I think. People who may have been afraid to try writing a review will now have their very own safety net.

I think I made that point about being a native speaker in no way equating to a good grasp of the langauge somewhere before.
You're right about that, tai - I had a PM the other day from Lizard with his new review so I could have a look at it for him before uploading and I'm sure it helped! |

I totaly agree with you Reup (but I actually stopped reading/replying to einherjar's posts, since most of them are quite hostile).

Cheers for the hailing Reup! You may start to see the fruits of our labours soon; some reviews have been finalised and should be uploaded before long. |
