Need a Proofreader?

I hope I'm not being presumptuous or rude but I was wondering if anyone would require the services of a proofreader for the dialogue in their D-Mod. I don't know about anyone else but sometimes I find that bad grammar and/or spelling can really detract from playing a D-Mod. I'm an editor and realize my eyes are trained to look for mistakes but if anyone would like someone to look over their dialogue I'd be more than happy to help.
Again, I hope I'm not being rude and if this seems like a trivial and silly post please just disregard it.

You're so right about bad grammar and spelling. If I make a D-mod, I'll let you proofread mine. My English is not bad, but it's not my mothertongue.

My d-mod is still in the early development stages, but when I get it done, It would be great to have someone check over my work. I really could use some lessons for my spelling.

I see spelling mistakes in dmods all of the time. Alot of the time its just things an american like me counts as a mistake like armour instead of armor. It always looked a little bit too frenchy-ish to me, even though its british.

Ha ha ha, SabreTrout. Hooked on fonics werked fer me?

Thanks for all the replies. I wasn't sure if I would be laughed off the Board.

My email is posted in my profile. If you'd like something reviewed please send it along as either email text or a Word document (and also put "Dink Smallwood dialogue" or something in the Subject line as my Spam Guard is a bit aggressive), and I'll have your file back to you within 48 hours.

Well, it was you folks who decided to leave the 'u' out of armour and colour and words like that, so you can hardly call the original word a mistake.

This post isn't asking for proofreaders Jamie. It's made by someone advertising themselves as one. And spell my name with a capital S.
