"I did a bad job" Proofreading this blog post. I'm not usually a pedant, but this post repeatedly made basic grammar errors. It detracted and distracted from what was otherwise a great article.

Sorry if it spoilt the experience. I will try to pay more attention next time.

Thanks for pointing it out. :)

I enjoyed this writeup too, but was also distracted by the errors. I do a lot of proofreading; I'd be happy to send you a list of editorial corrections if you feel like it is worth the time.

The main thing was the frequent use of "where" in place of "were." Another thing that jumped out at me was the omitted words in the introduction. If you'd like me to go back and proofread, I'd be happy to.

Thanks for an insightful article.

Thank you very much for offering. I would really appreciate it, if it will not consume too much of your time.
