Hi Thomas. Please ensure that you proof-read every column you write before submission. We are still finding a few mistakes in them which ideally should be corrected before they are handed in. You may find it helpful to use a browser with a built-in spellchecker, such as Firefox, for a final check before you save the draft. Be careful, as some mistakes (such as using the wrong word - "could have" rather than "could of") won't be caught by the spellchecker. Additionally, you may like to share your writing with a friend or relative to get a second set of eyes reading over it (I assure you, four eyes are better than two). Have a look over the revision histories of each column you've submitted so far so you can track the kinds of mistakes that have been made: some of them are cropping up a few times. Nonetheless, thank you for your submissions so far and best of luck. —'''<span style="font-family:Verdana">[[bp:User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#000">darklord</span>]][[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 02:22, 2 July 2011 (UTC) | Hi Thomas.

:Well I write them on microsoft word, to begin with, but yeah there is always mistakes afterwards. In future I'll sort them out myself rather than leaving it to other users on here [[User:05308|05308]] 08:44, 2 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
