  12.     I'm not sure that the problem is just proofreading.  The last time
  13. PiM Publications (publishers of AC) printed one of my articles, they
  14. introduced three errors that weren't in my original text.
  15.  
  16.     AmigaWorld occasionally had problems too - in my TurboText 2.0
  17. review (March 1995), somebody "corrected" the wording in four places and in
  18. doing so, introduced a grammatical error and three factual errors.  I was
  19. pissed.  But in general, AmigaWorld's editing was better than AC's.
