[s-d] Re: [s-b] [auto] EugeneMeidinger submits p63

[Alex Truelsen <dichotomousmind@xxxxxxxxx>]

I checked - there are plenty of errors, but amusingly enough, I haven't 
found any that the Grammar Nazi would be allowed to call you on, except for 
a misspelling of the word "transferred." Of course, that still means you get 
a Suck Point. (Other mistakes include not having a period at the end of one 
sentence and using the word "may" twice in a row. Run this prop through a 
spell-checker.)
