May I suggest that MichLUG find a language snob to do proofreading?

AFAIAC you certainly may... :-) Were you planning on doing so? :-) If so, go
ahead. :-)

It'd be awkward to offer my services, so may
I volunteer Larry? :-)

No, you mayn't. :-) I tilt at too many windmills as it is. But thanks for
thinking of me, just the same. :-)

Scott's meeting/show summaries are an informal tradition,

I kind of like the manifold ways he has of managing to mangle matters,
mayhap he should continue? :-)

but things we put on
our website or hand out at shows need more thorough editing, IMO.

All kidding aside (and it's *all* kidding up above), you do have a point.

Larry & All,

Ha ha. While we need some proof-reading on various subjects, such as the
website, this subject could have been dealt in a better manner.

Mebbe. But personally I enjoy your wrapups immensely and wouldn't change a
thing about them as posted here. They may well benefit from a review before
being preserved for posterity, but happily, one could argue that they'd lose
their charm.

Note that being a good writer (facile with words) does not imply being a
good communicator (using them in pleasing and innoffensive ways). I know
this as I have A at all times but not always B. :-)
