If you ever need any proofreading, let me know as I do it for a living. Of course, I may not always know to use your favorite/favourite spelling and the like. Do the Brits use "jewellery" instead of "jewelry" as well, or is that just Canada?
Oh and as for this site, which I love (great job all involved!!!), I noticed one thing so far that irks me every time I see it.
The description for the Polls section under each continent has "it's" when it should be "its". Nothing critical of course, just trying to help.

Sean,
I'll have to own up to that one!
Will change it when I get back home tomorrow evening. The wifi has been a bit flaky over here today and I don't want to risk it dropping out in the middle of an edit.

I am a compositor and proof reader by trade. I drive people mad pointing out their mistakes all the time. I can't just read an article - I automatically proof read it as well.

I knew there was a reason I liked you so much Billy Whiz! =) It's a sickness we have, reading the sides of vans on the streets etc. Crazy we are!
