Spelling/Grammar Errors Check

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Spelling/Grammar Errors Check

Post by Elizabeth-Tush4Christ »

I would like to get an opinion on this phase as I was marked down for it, I know my remark is grammatically correct

My remark: The book is professionally edited; I do not find any errors.
Editor's correction: The book is professionally edited; I did not find any errors.

The editor is correct because you’re talking about something that happened in the past. You read the book and did not find any errors.

I agree. The remark should read, "I did not find any errors."

Is Everyonde a word. Or is it a spelling error. it is the first word in the book I am reading? I am confused whether this is an error or not?

It appears that the word should be everyone, but since you didn't post the whole sentence, it is hard to say for sure.

The sentence is - "Everyonde knew the end was near. But so much still needed to be done".
I tried to search on internet. It is used in some places. But I want to know, is it counted as error or not?

Looks like an error to me from the sentence you provided.

I think it's just a matter of tense. The editor changed it to past tense as this is something you have already done. If you say " do" and it's something that you have already done its incorrect.

Wait, everyonde is a word that’s used sometimes? That looks like a typo to me. From what I can tell from the Google service, it’s just a common typo.
