LOL -- I think from now on I'm going to get typed memoes previously run
through a spell-checker!
I'll have my husband call your husband and they can compare editing tools
LOL.

Gee, Denise, did we marry the same guy? My husband wrote a note to me and
called me Sweatheart. He hasn't lived that down yet. <laugh>

Thank you, Mickey. Yes, I made my first mistake when I was dating my
now-husband. He was/is a would-be writer and wrote me a poem. Instead of
"oh, honey, that is so romantic and sweet", I said "oh, honey, you made some
grammatical errors over here".
I haven't gotten any more poems.:-)
But, he married me anyway, despite my flaw LOL.

Hi, Denise.
Welcome. I've been a volunteer since November of 2003, and I'm still
learning and still asking.
It sounds as though you, like I, see and want to fix errors in the written
word. My only counsel would be that we can't do that. If it's in print, we
have to leave it, galling as that is. Very obvious spelling mistakes we
might get away with, although it's better not to.
Our group is about getting work done, and having fun while we do it. Again,
welcome.
Mickey

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Introducing myself
Hi everyone,
My name is Denise and I have just recently (this week) become a volunteer
with Bookshare.org. I downloaded my first book to proofread yesterday and I
am very, very excited about it!
I joined Bookshare because 1). I love, love books; 2). I am always
correcting the written word in everything I read; 3). I love to help others.
Did I mention I love books? And, an added bonus is that my niece is
print-disabled and I recall my sister-in-law once commenting that she uses a
site such as this one (I'm not sure if it is this one). So, I am elated to
be able to give back!
In any case, I just want to introduce myself and prepare you to be inundated
with newbie questions:-).
Is there an actual forum or listserv that I could go to to read past
postings to this list? Are there any suggestions that the seasoned
volunteers out there have for a newbie like myself? I would hate to ask
questions that you have all heard, and answered, a million times.
Thanks!
Denise
