Brian Posted October 16, 2020 Report Posted October 16, 2020 Hi Yurie, Please keep up the fantastic work! I deleted the comments about the spelling. You do amazingly well, considering English is not your first language. Assisting with corrections I am sure is helpful, but there are better ways for our members to do that, and perhaps it does not come across as polite as it is intended. Thank you from all of us. I hope oneday this whole project will be published. 5 1 Quote
yurie Posted October 16, 2020 Author Report Posted October 16, 2020 Hi Brian, Please don't worry about it. I need all the feed back and the corrections. Especially the one like we are discussing about now. Unless somebody mention it, the misspelling "worriers" would stay for sometime. That is more embarrassing. I am working with my editor diligently. I am hoping I can publish the book maybe the early part of next year. Thank you. Yurie 4 Quote
