Of course there are, the "Eyes Only" reading room being the best of them.
Still, you miss the point that most documents are not proofed and corrected. Officers and gentlemen do not hover over spelling and grammar mistakes when the important matter is the information being disseminated.
Given your background, I'd hazard a guess that you are here for counterintelligence purposes. ;-D
Honestly, back in the days of the manual typewriter, document beauty, spelling, and grammar issues were just not important unless the document was to published at a printing facility for general distribution or sent to a Conressman or the President. (Like Field Manuals, Training Circulars, and other formal material.) If you actually served in the indicated capacity for that long, you would have to admit that this was true. Furthermore, I am an engineer and work with engineers. We can't spell or compose a sentence that reflects favorably upon our level of education. The fellows who prepared those reports were not literary giants. In order to limit exposure of the material, additional personnel such as proofreaders and typists would not be added to the project. Could you dispute that?
There you go again . . .
expecting naysayers to learn from facts! LOL.
I’d say he has to know that if he’s as purported . . .
unless he’s just tooooooooooooo OBSESSIVE/COMPULSIVE AND PRISSY to admit such facts and realities.
“Officers and gentlemen do not hover over spelling and grammar mistakes when the important matter is the information being disseminated.”
Couldn’t disagree more. Since all correspondence with the Officer’s signature represents his writing, spelling, grammar, and syntax he will have it typed 50 times to make it correct. A good army clerk could type 70 words a minute so rewrites were the norm, not the exception. In any case, most of the errors were not typos but clear spelling and syntax mistakes which no officer would permit to remain in anything he signed. The document we are referring to is clearly a phony as anyone can tell.
There haven’t been TOP SECRET reading rooms in 25 years. Just because you have the clearance doesn’t mean you can read anything you want classified as TOP SECRET. It just means you are eligible if you have a need to know.
