EditMob is not a stickler. I very rarely receive a submission for an arcane rule of grammar (though I am not opposed to it). One of the more interesting aspects of monitoring your submissions is the quality (and quantity) of the reports. Less than 5% of the reports are rejected. I would attribute nearly all of those to style decisions by the author and a few to British/Canadian spelling.
I was reading a blog entry by Carol Saller (who I just realized is the editor for the Chicago Manual of Style online forum) and then engaged her in a quick email exchange. As most people point out, she noted that EditMob is a great outlet for those of you who want to do good; but she also rejected that EditMob is a stickler. Whew.
I often get comments from authors that feel all their readers should be focused on the content, rather than typos. To them I respond, yes but ... don't you want the cleanest read for everyone else.
Those that agree sign up. Thanks.
