I worked for Game Designers Workshop - proofread the game booklets and text on the box and cover art for the Europa series, Traveller series, Twilight 2000 series, etc.

So it was YOUR fault!

Ha! If you only knew.......... (big grin).

Actually one of the fun aspects of doing all the things I did at/for GDW (I was a Jane-of-all-trades and did a lot of different tasks there) was to receive the new manuscripts from the game designers. They were clearly VERY bright people but each one of them would have their misspelling quirks and/or grammatical idiosyncracies, so it was a fun challenge to look over their writings and correct any flaws (allthewhile trying to "read" 90+ game "manuals but not for gamer enjoyment - every hr. or so, I would have to "come up for air" and go get a Pepsi or take a quick walk through campustown just to get a 2nd wind and clear "rubble" from my brain!).
