Proofreader at Table Seven, Please

[nightdog_barks]

Dear Pro Author:

I was thinking about buying your book today, so I read the first few pages on Amazon. I regret to inform you that the ocean does not actually "team" with fish. Perhaps one day I will purchase your book, but it will not be today.

Sincerely yours,

A Cranky Reader

Spellcheck with turbo powers, because it would require someone to actually read the sentence in context. :D

Well, that's what I mean: they're depending on spell-check instead of on a human proofreader who would understand misuse, not just misspelling.
