Should I bother editing pages that have errors in grammar and spelling to make them look nicer, or am I just really OCD when I read old(ish) pages? HouseMDfan, the crazy bitch 08:23, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Certainly. Any help will be appreciated. You can also join the comma brigade. ~ 08:34, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Just quick-check to make sure that any errors in an article are unintentional. You will definitely find some grammatical faux paus that are done intentionally by the author and it's usually fairly obvious.--    08:49, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

"Faux pas"...unless you aren't being obvious enough. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 17:50, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I can tell when the poor grammar is intentional, as well as bad spelling. Thanks. AND if i ever have any doubts, there's always the talk page for the article, yea? I have joined the Comma Brigade. Unfortunately there aren't any articles that need any help on the page there. But I'm reading through random ones. :) HouseMDfan 13:33, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

If you're serious about this, we can put your OCD to good use. Most people don't bother with UN:PROOF because response has been historically lacking. Advertise your services on the dump and I'd bet you'll have a line of folks wanting a good proofread. I always appreciate them myself and a pee review doesn't always catch the little things as the reviewer is usually more focused on content over grammar. -OptyC Sucks! CUN22:27, 1 May

When I stop getting sick, I'll be sure to. ~ HouseMDfan 03:35, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
