I personally never got over there, there was way too many activities, such as scuba, rapelling, bullwhips, mountain boarding, 50 cal rifles, ect. to do. However, some kids in my patrol gave me 4 free white dwarfs, because his brother had the same ones. For those who are interested, apparently they had a space marine statue outside of it, and it was near the merit badge midway.
So anyway, my point is that while reading these four magazines (they are my first white dwarfs), I have noticed some random spelling, grammatical, or other such errors. Has anyone ever noticed these before? For example, in one battle report (the "Battle Missions" one), the word "vein" was used instead of "vain", and some more complex phrases would have words left over from attempts to rewrite the sentence. Has anyone ever noticed these before? Are they more frequent as GW has to lay off people, such as editors?
It's cool that
GW had a presence at the Jambo this year. When I went in '97, they were no where to be seen (not that I was a gamer at the time anyway!).
As for the spelling/grammar issues, it does seem to be more prevalent than what I remember growing up. Of coures, my own spelling is so bad that it's not like I have a lot of room to talk! Still, I'm not getting paid for my writing either
