[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9336434, member: 6684958"] Other then I do have an amazing grasp of the English language, I also own a wondrous device known as a "computer". This device can read my work and correct things...really it is amazing. I do also possess the skills of: Editing, Proofreading, and Double Checking. Writing is only "challenging" if your not a writer. Just like anything else. If you have skill and talent, things you know are not "so hard". I doubt you would find many, but sure I make one from time to time. For example I misspell "disintegrate" from time to time. I'm not really sure what a problem might be? Any spell that needs it, has a good paragraph of Legalese written by me. Yea...and professionals and multi million dollar game companies that can't seem to hire one editor.....well, you can see their work for yourself. But there is a huge different between someone doing a job, and someone doing something for fun or love. I, like most gamers, could never make half the mistakes you see in official books. I will never, ever "miss" something like: Detect Magic: school Evocation. Ever. Of course, also as just a single person who is my own boss, I don't have to listen to others, blinding hand my work off to others, "work" within a corporate juggernaut and get over ruled by random people. If I see a typo, I can stop and fix it in seconds. In a company setting often you can only send an e-mail to your "boss" and hope they take care of it. And...well, there are lots more bad work horror stories. Yet another reason why players should not know all the spells. [/QUOTE]
