Thought you might want us to post all the typo and grammer errors in one spot so that whoever is doing the corrections doesn't have to hunt for them posted all over the place.
This only came to after I saw the second one.
Also could you tell us how much of the exact text do you need to be able to find and correct it.
Here is one.
Fake Arundel: Arundel is bleeding......"There is a portal in his room you may use to come back to you world."
Wouldn't this be better as "... go back to your world"?

Cheers

Hence,  "... nonetheless it was still a shock seeing him stood there..." is correct in this instance 
Saying that,  it would also be correct for PC. to say,  "... nonetheless, it was still a shock to see him *standing* there..." In this instance *was* denotes past tense of the word *standing* which may be used in past/present and future tenses. The English language is/was/and can be a slippery beast.  biggrin.gif

Hi Jan,

"... nonetheless, it was still a shock to see him *standing* there..." sure does sound a whole lot better. I've never heard the phrase; "... nonetheless it was still a shock seeing him stood there..." It may be grammatically correct but it sure is tough to wrap my brain around the sound of it. blink.gif

What I have seen in which they use 'stood' is somethihng like this: "...nonetheless it was still a shock to see him as he stood there..." How does this work? huh.gif

Vlad or Jan, can you also make this topic a sticky please. smile.gif
