For some reason, this edition seems to stand out to me. Oh that's right, I am part of it!

Definitely deserved.

It's a simple typo... you are acting like it's the end of the world. :S

You probably spell words wrong, but auto-correct fixes them. PHOTOSHOP DOESNT HAVE AUTO CORRECT.
Good edition.

I took it upon myself to include this, no worries.

Other than that, great edition!

Stop bitching. There were minor errors in the World News as I didn't get a chance to proofread it due to it being written by a member outside of the Writers.
I couldn't proofread the Gaming News as it was in image format. I reported the major spelling errors, but Mark was busy and we thought that the community would be mature enough to presume what the word was supposed to be, rather than bitching about 3-5 spelling errors which were a result of free time.

@Pizd
Shh. I spent at least an hour proofreading what I could, and I spent at least 4 hours on the interviews. Along with that, I have major commitments to groups, sports, and my own education. Editing takes a lot longer than 5 minutes, and I did my best to bring perfection in the sections that I had the ability to edit. Hell, proofreading isn't even my position. I'm an interviewer.

If you have an issue, come say it to me nicely. I'll do the best to change my ways if necessary. The typos in this edition weren't major, and they were out of my control to edit.

There were minor errors in at least one, most probably both, of my interviews. They are raw text and I'm not supposed to edit the text.

OT: Great edition. Thanks team.

You obviously knew what it meant, and it's not going to be edited, so don't bother mentioning it.

And so do the people providing. No constructive criticism was directed at me. If we don't have a current World News writer, then the work will be done by some one else. It may not be what people are used to, but they should take the knowledge they are given. Likewise for other positions.
I'm simply telling them that pointing out spelling errors is essentially pointless.

Woah! I'm really surprised to see my own tag in GFX Gallery.
Thanks for the motivational boost <3

And there's no need to flame someone for picking out a mistake.

Nope. Something like "I enjoyed this edition. The graphics were great. I noticed a few minor errors in the Gaming News, but overall decent edition." a good mix of motivation and criticism goes a long way.
Done here, for now.
Tech news should of included apple sueing samsung, nevertheless great news, thanks.

I presume it was the only one submitted.
