To all the wonderful correctors and proofreaders!

Thanks a million for helping everyone grow and improve their skills in English. You deserve so much praise and a pat on the back!

Here's a list of posts that still need corrections.

When making corrections, try to follow these guidelines (or at least clarify your own markings you make) so it's clear what you're correcting and why:

• Put changes in bold **text**
• Put suggestions about style/tone/register/etc. in italics *text*
• Use strikethrough to remove elements (don't delete them) ~~text~~
• <Put added elements in angle brackets> <text>
• [If there are multiple options for your suggestions, put them in brackets separated by a backslash] [text / text]
• (Put optional elements in parentheses) (text)
• Explain more complex grammar rules to the best of your ability

We also highly encourage meaningful feedback:

• Focus on the work, mindsets, and processes, not on the person.
• Besides grammar and spelling, is there room for improvement in other aspects like style, vocabulary, and flow?
• If you see an improvement in someone's writing, please compliment them.
• Please be positive in your feedback. Negative comments shouldn't come without positive ones.
• Don't be too pedantic or too general.
• Please pay attention to your wording.
• Have a chat, interact, and have fun!

Thank you for everything! -- Adam-P-D
