Yup, that's right - the part of the puzzle that mod and campaign creators make the most goofs and oversights in. Grammer and spelling problems can make even the best creations lose the polished and professional look they deserve to have. I think the reason may be partly because that text bytes rarely cause obvious errors in game.
It can be especially difficult for folks who do not use English as their primary language. Note that's not a put down - statement of fact. I would have a terrible time making a legible Russian translation.
I have a bit of time on my hands now, and though I have other talents I could tap to help out one or two of the various projects ongoing, I'm not able to commit to anything of that nature. On the other hand I have excellent reading and writing skills, with a good eye for details. I can correct spelling and grammar errors, as well as suggest areas of improvement to story lines, or their written implimentations.
I've decided to offer this to anyone, whether for a single short mission, a complete story, even a website for a campaign. The project need only be Freespace related. Just drop an email to:
[email protected]
if anyone is interested. It is checked at least every day. I do not accept demands or rudeness. I'd just like to help out a little, and this seems like a good way to do that, allowing folks to concentrate on the less mundane parts of their creations while the "I"s are dotted and the "T"s are crossed.

Sorry, couldn't help it. ;)
And yes, the grammar in most of the campaigns I've played was quite terrible. Quite a nice service you are offering. :)

LOL! Well, no-one's perfect, but I do mostly catch the typos :)

It's a good idea, and you are right, just getting two letters the wrong way round in a ships' name can be enough to ruin the atmosphere of a mission :(
