Into the Halls of Valhalla campaign looking for grammar checkers
on: July 14, 2006, 01:57:55 pm
Once again, I am putting up a request for native English speakers for one of my campaigns. Originally, kietotheworld and InfernoGod volunteered, but they have not responded for my roll-call for quite some time, leading me to believe they quit.

The job is simple: open a mission in FRED or WordPad(which I encourage due to two people working with different versions of FRED can ruin the entire mission), check command, mission, and debriefings and lastly, messages for grammatical mistakes and fix them.

If you are interested, PM me or post here. Thanks in advance.

I was an English major, I'd be happy to help.  I hate bad grammar in campaigns....
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

English major sounds good, but are you actually a native speaker of English? I need somebody who was born and raised in an English-speaking community.

Why? :nervous:

IMO the results matter, not the one who does it. Technically, someone non-native speaker could easily infiltrate your campaign, do a good job and afterwards reveal that he wasn't a native after all... but would it matter if the end results were good?

Hell, if someone can write better Finnish than me, I'm not asking them whether they are native Finnish speakers or not.

*runs*

*runs back*

EDIT: Besides, if you have your campaign containing ship names or themes from Scandinavian mythos, you could actually profit from getting information from someone who can tell the difference between Freya and Freyr, Thor and Tyr and perhaps even Fenrir and Fenrisulf (Fenris is actually just an English contortion of Fenrisulf rather than the actual Great Wolf of the Norse mythology...)

By the way, does the campaign deal with what Alpha 1 experiences in afterlife after being pwned on some of the missions? 'Cause that's what the name suggests. Hope you are aware of that...  :p

*runs away again*

I am conservative in this field, learning English as a second language and knowing English since you wre born are two different things.
