#use spellcheck

listen. sir. you saw on my profile that I am an editor. you misspelled ‘whole’. by adding extra letters. that is also not your only spelling mistake. I don’t know if you expect me to edit your profile for you but unless you’re paying me that ain’t my job.

How do writers not know spell check exists?! I'm reading this series of epic novel-length Star Trek fics & it's really, really good but every fic is positively riddled with spelling errors, mainly letters missing from words, & it's so distracting! The fic is a couple years old & it's obvious the care & thought the writer put into it. I feel bad even complaining about it because I know fic authors do it for love & get no financial recompense & little recognition but come on! Run your chapters through a spellchecker, ask a friend to beta! The constant errors make what I would consider a five star fic lose a bit of luster.

if there is a spelling or grammar error in something that is supposed to be official and moving or raw...well... i am sorry to say that i can't help you get it around to people because i won't reblog it.

no career center, I will not take your survey!  You spelled "inquiry" wrong.
