Jade Knight's thread of Proofreadingishnesses

(1/24) > >>

The Jade Knight:
This is the place where I ask Usage questions and post problems I have, to keep them off of individual threads.


So, for starters:
The Blurb for DS2 has a typo - "sequel's"

The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers:
that would be me making an error. I do that. YOu may have noticed that I used an apostrophe in the possessive usage of "its" as well. Both apostrophes have been removed, decontaminated, and burned for good measure.

The Jade Knight:
I've been changing everyone's en dashes into em dashes according to standard American usage.

If en dashes (I'd give examples, but the forum doesn't have full ANSI support) are okay to separate ideas, tell me, and I'll leave them be or modify single hyphens into en dashes.

Fellfrosch:
en dashes are not acceptable, please change them.

The Jade Knight:
The new Page 33 has half a zillion (hyphen-)dashes in various incarnations.  Should I go through and convert them ALL to em dashes, or should any of them take other formats, or should they be left, as most of them come from the "press release" (and are, as such, quoted)?
