Peer Review

Reviewing and editing should definitely be an open, group conscious, task that will stimulate we, as writers, to pay more attention to the rules of the English language. I'm a stickler for grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. Whenever I read something on a web page, in the newspaper, or even a published book, I find typos that I want to correct; it's very distracting to me. I like to re-read my own posts and then edit them.
1) spelling, and using the right words, is probably one of my biggest pet peeves. ex. they're their there ( >_< )

2) grammar and sentence structure are hard to correct when you're not the writer, so for me to edit something, it needs to be put together right.
