    correction, I'm getting an English degree. Also, after awhile i got lazy and just read for content. If you can read it don't worry about it.

    As a journalism major (which I suppose is an offshoot of English) I generally find spelling and grammar errors in an edited paper something of a travesty. Especially if there are errors in the editor's piece.

    well, BtV. I take full claim, however, I really didn't feel like spell-checking and fixing grammar. As I switched from JCom (Journalism Communication) to English. Everything was legible, and only minor erros. If you're going to complain, then join the staff, we could use a spell checker.

    I think the first issue turned out well. Though I do agree it could be better, but most of us are really new at this. I have never written for a newspaper in my life and I'm sure many others on the EoFF Post staff haven't either. It's our first issue, if we make a few errors Marick's fine with it, Lenna's fine with it, and I'm definitely fine with it. We're all having fun and that's all that matters to me. Not necessarily saying we consider this newspaper a joke, it is a newspaper for the forum, and we aren't necessarily writing for the New York Times here. Marick and Lenna gave us plenty of feedback and we are all learning how to become better reporters.

    So, props to Lenna and Marick on their first issue, you did a WONDERFUL job!

    Given the amount of hard work I know was put into this and also the fact that they were working to a deadline with a lot of people saying they'd help out and then finding that they lacked the enthusiasm as days moved on... I think it was done very well indeed, better than anything I could have pulled out should I have been put in charge, that's for sure. Hats off to Tiff and Marick, as well as anyone else who did their share.

    I'm in agreement that if people can spot errors, they may as well be put in charge of fixing them.

    I quite enjoyed having a reason for my mindless babble.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Marick's right, if you would like the paper to have a lot less errors in it, we could use a proof-reader. S'up to you though :P

    And thank's everyone, but really, we just got everyone together, everyone did their own pieces. That thanks should be for everyone who worked as a team with us not for me and Marick alone ;_;
    I'll figure it out later...

    screw that Lenna, I'm taking all the glory!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!


    On a serious note, yes, definitely, this issue turned out great. Thanks to all the staff who helped and stayed with us, and now that we have a solid structure to work with, we'll be able to keep this up and make the next one that much better.

    If you would like to help out, contact Lenna and/or myself through pm, or you can send us an e-mail at EoFFEditors@yahoo.co.uk

    Thank you all very much, and a special thanks to the staff.
