Native English speaker here; I'd be happy to edit for grammar.

Great, please go ahead! Something that worked for my reviewers was to just email a bunch of "before" -> "after" sentences, e.g.:
* "Developers want code that run fast." -> "Developers want code that runs fast."
* "And this is how the SentinelInputRange get into the discussion." -> "And this is how the SentinelInputRange gets into the discussion."

I copied and pasted in to libreoffice for editing: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/910836/sentinal.odt or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/910836/sentinal.doc There are 2 comments from me, they are in [] and highlighted in yellow. You'll probably want to address them and then delete them. There were a lot of grammatical mistakes that have now been fixed and a couple of sentences have been rearranged. I had planned to work as Andrei suggested with "before -> after" but I quickly realised the edit file would be longer than the document! P.S. I may have accidentally introduced some British English by accident, perhaps a native American English speaker will spot them. |
