Richard, have you been seeing miscommunication in here that i am unaware of  ???
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I agree with Sylvia and Gordon.
I would terribly annoyed if someone started to re-write my "work" even though it might be better grammatically. If it was utterly gibberish, I wouldn't mind if someone -privately- offered her or his assistance; but then the decision would be mine.
Besides; there's another (interesting) point. We're supposed to be responsible for everything we write (wich I try to adhere to) but how can you be held responsible for something that was altered ???
Sounds shady to me at least ...

I would like to keep it as it is. If there are problems we can push the spelling-check-button, ask another forummember to help out or offer our assistance (through e-mail or PM).

Just my own 0.01 worth ...

In just the short period of time since this thread has started, I personally have seen a decrease of misspelled words, & better written posts throughout the forum. Maybe the call to members to slow down, utilize the spell check option, proof read themselves, & consider others needs has had a positive impact without having to assign overseers. To everyone who has taken it upon themselves to make this forum a better place, job well done!

Interestingly enough, the human brain can compensate for most errors anyways (see example here:http://photoblog.mrjmw.com/can-your-brain-read-this/ ) and since this is such a friendly group, I'm sure that any language issues can be overcome!  :yup:
