Heh.
I tend to write in Queen's, others sometimes use the accursed dialect known as "American 'English'" - in the past, this
has caused problems.
Edit: Also, grammar
is important; if I use a semi-colon, rather than a comma, I do so for a
reason. Replacing one with the other can alter the entire meaning of a sentence; for this reason I would consider "grammatical" corrections as big a problem as allowing the chair to change the wording itself.
Edit-the-second: Also, some of our Chairs have had decidedly 'average' command of grammar and the English language; no offence is meant, but we can't be certain that what the Chair sees as an "error" actually
is an error - we do, after all, have members for whom English is a second language, or who are dyslexic; myself included in regards to the second part.
