Working on proof reading one of Throat's books that he intends to re-release in a slightly longer version.

Are you proof reading in British English or modern English (AKA American English)?

True English, not the bastardised version you lot speak (although I do allow ass for arse).

However, I was surprised that MS Word kept finding spelling errors, as I know Throat uses a spell checker. I was about a quarter through the book when I realised that this was because he was using an American spell checker, and the "spelling errors" were in fact "Americanisations" of the words.

Anyway I changed them all back into true English, so I guess you could say that as well as proof reading, I was also translating the book from American to English!
