Help File Spelling and Word Usage Corrections

Fred and Company,

I notice there are many minor spelling and word usage mistakes in the PB Help file. Some are obviously just from the writer not being a native English speaker (for example the word 'information' is correctly used for both single and plural instances so you should not use 'informations' when referring to several pieces of information).

Is there a way people can contribute Help file editing recommendations so that the Help would contain less spelling/word usage errors and come across as a more professional document?

I know I find it somewhat distracting to read it with the errors but I am kind of picky that way so it may not be a big deal to others and therefore not worth the time to clean things up.

I was thinking that the forum was not the best way to communicate this type of editing but I wasn't sure what the best method would be.

Please let me know if you think this is a worthwhile effort (or if it is already being done) and how best to proceed.

Regards,
Mark

There is a CVS, so if you want to review the english docs just send me a mail and we will setup an account for you. I assume you are a native english speaker ? ;)

I am a native American English speaker (hopefully that won't pose any problems). I am not familar with using CVS systems but I will send you an email and see if I can figure it out.

Thanks,
Mark
