Hi, my name's Louis and I thought I might as well offer what I can to everyone on this forum. So if you need any proofreading done (e.g. you're not English but want to make an English game) then get in touch and I'll do what I can.

If you're dialogue is massive then I can't promise I will be quick, but every weekend (and also on bus trips) I'll sit down with the text and work through it.

Contact me via a PM on here, or (what will most likely get you a fast response) email me at:
[email protected]

Thanks.

Actually "you're" is correct in this instance because the author is abbreviating "you are".

Don't think so... Wink

Happens to me all the time though... I'm sure Louis will be more vigilant with the texts he's sent. And hey, it's free, right?

Cheers,

"Two" clarify there are "two" instances of you're, first is correct and the second; incorrect.

Yay for things!

I assume your original use of he's was intended to be a conjunction between he and has, but "Louis will be more vigilant with the texts he has sent" makes no sense because you're mixing present tense (will) and past tense (has).

Hehe, I'm not a native speaker, so occasionally these small grammar mistakes slip in.

Let me correct that:
He will be more vigilant checking the texts sent to him. That's what I was trying to say by "the texts he is sent".
