Yes, to be very clear, Grammar Squad only edits reviews. We don't care what is said (or how it is said) on the forums. Well, don't go disparaging our mothers; we'll care about that, and woe be unto you if you use poor grammar while doing so.

Grammar Squad is now publicly joinable! This doesn't really change the joining process for new members that much, though. What it means is, that now instead of posting here, anyone who wishes to join must go to their User Control Panel (My Settings), Scroll down to the Group Memberships tab, and apply to join the Grammar Squad group (by selecting the appropriate radio button and clicking Join Group). After you have done so, then I'll begin the process as normal - the test review will be sent to the person, and if they complete the task, will be added. Here is a quick link to your UserCP, just so you'll know what I'm talking about: UserCP

Feel free to still chat in here though

This does change one thing: You will be added as soon as Acethor approves your join request (ie a lot faster than it would be if you had to wait for an admin to take notice)

Gondring and CyberDiablo have been removed from the waiting list since it's been like 100 years and I haven't heard anything from them. So they are both officially disqualified. Meanwhile I have two new requests from CaitSith and Kirok. The reviews that were reserved for the first pair will be given to the new pair as their test.

@g33kory: I will send you a PM with a test review for you to check as well.

Note: Also, to all new members and current ones I will be taking another survey of member activity and those who were found to be inactive will be unceremoniously removed.

I will be happy to do this. I am a proofreader and I have been trained all the way through graduate school level for technical and analytical writing. I'm good!!!

How about it? We need dedicated and hard-working people to join our elite cadre, and help in the never-ending struggle against mispronunciations and horrible typos! It's very simple really.

Well what are you waiting for? Sign up now!
