This thread is for people to request certain lessons. If you have anything you're confused about, post it here. (Not just English mistakes, anything for proofreading in general.)
@Other proofreaders: If you see a request that you want to take, just do it.

Ok, here's a problematic sentence that we encountered in Chapter 116 of Negima!:
| QUOTE |
| "Including the Kotaro here, me, Ku, and Setsuna, the 4 of us will be taking you down." |
AQS proofreaders decided it to be:
| QUOTE |
| "Ku, Setsuna, me, and Kotaro here will take you down." |
However, "me" is an object pronoun, so that correction is wrong. How should this sentence be fixed?

| "Me, Ku, & Setsuna, along with Kotarou here, will all take you down." |
G'rr ain't sure if it's wise to use too many comas. -_- Maybe G'rr should install a semicolon after Setsuna...

How about the mistakes in Negima! Ch.119? I mean the singular/plural issue.

That's not a proofreader's job...that's for the translators...

Yes... I registered just to comment on this post. lol
"Me, Ku, Setsuna, and including Kotaro here. The four of us will take you down."
...maybe...
If we stick to original sentence structure xD
"Including Kotaro. Me, Ku, and Setsuna are also here. The Four of us will be taking you down."
Is also possible.
Honestly. It's hard to tell the exact structure and mood of the sentence, within the script, with only the one line. But when I first seen it I thought it was a fun line. xD It's very intriguing... To say the least. xD

seriosly, its common sense. this sentence is e-a-s-y to correct!
Origional:
"Including the Kotaro here, me, Ku, and Setsuna, the 4 of us will be taking you down."
Corrected:
"OMG n00b me an my Gang iz gonna Pwn ure a$$ Rofl lmao."
Because you know thats what he was trying to say :)
