Looking for a proof reader/fact checker...

As some know I'm writing a paper for my History class on the history of the submarine and I would like a volunteer or two to look over my paper and make sure I didn't make any mistakes (grammatically or factually).

I'll be happy to proofread. Fact-checking may be beyond my ability, depending upon the detail and scope of your paper.

Heh. Scope. Get it?

Hell, I would also like to volunteer - better to have 8 eyes than 6 (no offense if one of you is a pirate )

my qualifications:
- nitpicking, Grammar Nazi
- I touched a submarine last year

Depending on the length of the paper, I may not be able to respond to you before Saturday, so if you want to submit the paper tomorrow, I won't be much help.

Mom lost an eye when she was very young so at that time all you got was a wooden eye. (Plastic was not wide spread back then)

She went to a School dance one nite and wanting to dance she asked
this guy she was keen on if he would like to dance with her.
(He had lost a leg in a farming accident and had a wooden leg)
He responded,
Would I! Would I! Would I!

She responded,
PegLeg! PegLeg! PegLeg!
And walked away never to talk to him again.

For you or anyone else wants to look it over PM me an email to send it to that address. I'll be looking for volunteers for the next day or so, after that I don't want to be sending out papers since I might not get suggestions back before I need to finalize the paper.
