[QUOTE="Khur, post: 4158363, member: 5583"] Definitely no disrespect detected, and no offense taken. That sentence had meaning, a lot like thumbscrews have meaning. I love editors. And not just because I was one. I don't mind "grammar Nazis" either, at least not for published work. Making fun of English is fun in itself, especially when I butcher it. You should have heard me mispronounce a word the other day—and the editor I was talking to was too nice to tell me. But the way I see it, it wouldn't make sense to like editors and hate grammar aficionados—would it? Now, I do mind it when people pick on forum posters, especially ESL posters, but I digress. That's not encouragement to jump all over Paizo. :) Man, they produce stuff that's fun to look at and read. Gorgeous art much of the time. The breakneck pace we do things at around here, especially lately for some reason (hrm?) doesn't help sometimes. Writing is like sculpting—looking at what you're doing and carefully redoing it or molding into a precise shape. (Yeah, me art guy too—at one time.) Sometimes, there's too much going on for the detail work. You have to hope someone's got your back. And sometimes they can't or don't. Oh, and McPants, I like the shadar-kai depictions. The orcs?
