Message: <blockquote data-quote="Forrester" data-source="post: 124388" data-attributes="member: 1279">Pick up any book published in the last five (probably ten) years by the mainstream press *or* in academia, and count the spaces after a period. Let me know how many books you had to pick up to find one that uses two spaces. Seriously. It *is* a hard and fast rule in the publishing industry today. Microsoft Word notwithstanding. I agree that content is the most important thing -- but if I'm going to shell out fifteen or twenty bucks for a product, I want more than merely good content. I would like to see good grammar, passable artwork, and a lack of typos. I don't think it's wrong to to ask for more than I could get from a free download from a fan site somewhere. And again, the more mistakes in grammar/diction, the more the rest of the content looks like something some fanboy managed to get published, as opposed to a serious company that likely took extreme care at all parts of development, including playtesting.I realize that many aren't as picky as I am -- and that's okay. But I think there is a small faction of us out here with high expectations. We understand your art can't be as good as the WoTC art, that overall your products can't be quite as inexpensive (because you can't mass-produce them as easily), and so on. But you need to do what you can. When you miss errors that *I* can find with forty-five seconds of skimming, you're not doing enough. [Note: This is a poke at Mongoose, not at you. Bluffside could be typo-free for all know! But the fact that you're so defensive about this is a little worrisome. If just *one* of you had said "I HATE TYPOS too, and while one slipped by on the website, we made sure that our actual product was checked a half-dozen times by someone as anal-retentive as you" I'd be much happier <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />]</blockquote>
