WANTED: Grammar Nazi and Pineal Gland · 4:33pm Sep 28th, 2012

Hello everyone.

First of all, a big thank you to all my readers for all the constructive criticisms and compliments.
I have it stated in my Bio that the primary purpose of my writing is practice; nothing more.
And the community has been a great delightful help.

Now, I generally disagree with personalized blogs but cut me some slack for this one.
Growing up in the Philippines means that English is my second language.
But it's too "second" that very few people use it. Such conversations are a rare luxury.
Practice, therefore, was seldom. In addition to this my elementary English teacher was an incompetent who
actually taught my class a bunch of BS (e.g. verbs with an "s" is plural, singular subject must go with plural verb (WTF!!!))
Which is why I am currently re-relearning the laws of English grammar back from scratch.
If anyone of you know a good site/book for help I would be very grateful.

It is at this point that I would like to request the help of an editor for Ptolemy. I'm not asking much.
Just a grammar Nazi who will yell and shout at me for every subject-verb disagreement, wrong tenses, etc.
I will be using the improved edition for the remastered version of Ptolemy.
(You have me convinced, I'll be splitting the story in 3 Chapters.)

On another note,
Does anyone have a spare pineal gland I could borrow. I need one as reference for my future fic.

All the best, Wellspring.

If you would, I can be your grammar nazi. I'm pretty adept at spotting mistakes, and I know all of the technicalities..
