For those of you who are big fans of proper writing and attention to grammar, your correction work often goes unappreciated and results in very negative appellations* like "grammar Nazi." However, sometimes it does make a difference. Last week while on Marine Corps Reserve duty, in a published Marine Corps policy document I noticed an error that could have resulted in much confusion for its readers. I contacted the author of the document and pointed out the mistake, and the document was pulled down from the website and republished in corrected form within one day! Keep correcting, oh defenders of grammar and protective proofreaders, and if you do it politely, someone just may listen!
