    I'm willing to do some proofreading.

    Although not a native speaker myself, I think I have a good understanding of the language. I'm at best making sure that sentences don't keep going on like endlessly and keeping it understandable. (Some of the current descriptions are full of exceedingly long lines, which makes them quite hard to understand if you're not a native speaker, or you're not used to that kind of sentences.) I'm also good at grammar nitpicking jobs.

    I can proofread, alter, and send a bunch of descriptions at least each weekend.

    Some of these sentences seem to go on endlessly as well ;)

    Hey, Long time lurker and EB fanatic; I hereby offer my services to you. My native tongue is English and I am currently doing an English Degree. Hope it suffices. - Shed

    Exceedingly long uninterrupted sentences bother even native speakers of english without a solid way to break a thought or to show what the previous line was referring too it becomes very hard to understand it and being it's EB often the information is like reading a text book even more confusing with out proper sentence construction though your right alot of times native speakers of a language wont even notice their reading a document that has no punctuation

    id offer 2 assist with the txt and profreed but i ain't got no time 2 uber profred ATM. That and i understand yall want it in english, not in Texan, doh.
