Edit: Nevermind, I was incorrect. My apologies.

Yes. That would be correct.

Re-read the whole sentence with 'if' instead of 'is'.

"I strongly suggest anyone who has or know someone who has Windows XP to invest into an upgrade, to at least Windows Vista IF not Windows 7."

I can't believe I missed that, my apologies.

Thanks for the clarification.

Please show me where the proofreading was lacking.

If there is even one error you've failed your job.

NASA doesn't have dots in between the letters.

There were a few other things, but I wasn't 100% sure so I left it. I'm no proofreader. I also only speed read it all.
wow
that's offensive

He's correct, it was overlooked on my end as proofreader. I'm hoping I didn't miss anything else.

Yea, I stand corrected. My apologies.

Leave it alone Vodge. I know you're bored but it would appear that a few grammatical errors are giving you a heart attack.

If you don't like this weeks edition, then just move on. It's that simple. Quit trying to drum up drama.
Omg, great news mate.

Thank you very much

He asked me to point them out, that's the only reason I did. I don't really like or dislike this edition more than any others, just the world news and proofreading that stood out to me as lackluster.
wow

I apologize. I must have overlooked something.

Regardless, he tends to be a dick when he's bored, as we all do. But keep it within reason.
Are y'all really QQing over one or two mistakes in multiple thousands of words?

Haha right?

They have a point though, it's my job to correct them and each mistake is somewhat of a failure. I guess if they like looking for mistakes, there's always room for improvement, and I surely don't mind having that pointed out to me. ;)

I don't "like" looking for mistakes, they just stuck out like a sore thumb. You asked for them, so I did your job for you, you then don't even acknowledge my post or thank me. You should drop the whole arrogance act though, not a good look.

Also Sir, nobody is QQing as you put it, simply pointing out errors, the proofreader himself even requested it.

Why are you trying so hard to get some sort of acknowledgement or attention? You pointed out some mistakes and he said you have a point. It's over and done with. Stop being a nuisance.
