Hello. I realise you have your full compliment of grammar squad members but I wish to offer my services. I have a good standard of English and as for qualifications I have a BA (Hons) in History. Sorry if I have overstepped the mark in some way and feel free to reject me.

" t first, I wondered where..."

I think that I'll start submitting them with correct structure, too - it was left in the original paragraph layout I use when submitting articles and bulk-text changes to the copy-editor - and it makes it really choppy to read...
I'm a full member of SfEP, so perhaps I could put a note up in the top margin to state whether the review has been proof-read? Though time and experience have lead me to believe that authors can't proof their work 100% effectively and that there needs to be communication between author and (copy-)editor for any substantial changes to be made that keep in with the rest of the flow and tone.

Either way, I'll make sure that anything new I submit (I'm not going to overwrite the other reviews I've uploaded to FTP) doesn't need any further formatting. I assumed that it would be changed. Ass U Me.
The SWC review, to me (but then I'm always over-critical of certain things), isn't easy to read because I didn't put it back into a good structure.

Sorry about that.
That review wasn't edited by Grammar Squad, something else must've gone wrong. Could it be that some parts were misinterpreted by the WYSIWYG editor?? No idea, really..

Are there any spots left on the Grammar Squad?

Because if there are, I would like to enlist. I absolutely detest sub-quality grammar, and I would like to aid in purging it from Abandonia's reviews!

Unsure if your still short of members. If you are short handed or someone should go missing in action consider me at your disposal, grammar comes second nature to me. TC
