https://archives.sluggy.com/book.php?ch ... 2023-06-13Panel 2, Agent N'aaaaw Maybe this isn't a mistake, but I think that it would be more grammatically correct if, instead of "but it's still in poor taste if I wasn't a demon." should be "but it'd still be in poor taste if I wasn't a demon."

"but it's still in poor taste if I wasn't a demon."
should be
"but it'd still be in poor taste if I wasn't a demon." Eh, I think both of those are fine. "but it is still in poor taste if I wasn't a demon" "but it would still be in poor taste if I wasn't a demon" <- this one also requires an extra word, and that's more work XD.

I think GUIGUI's correction is more correct. It's not horribly flagrantly wrong as is, but the correction is better.

Guigui's is definitely better. To make it perfect, it would read "if I weren't a demon".

https://archives.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=2023-06-20Panel 1: "I'm more of a 'Concept' that a demon."Probably should be "than" instead of "that". Panel 3: "You are poorly designed. All your claws and limbs and you still need a back-brush to scrub your back."It's not really wrong, but to me, it seems to flow oddly. At least a comma after limbs, I think. " You're poorly designed. All of your claws and limbs , and you still need a back-brush to scrub your back."

"You're poorly designed. All of your claws and limbs, and you still need a back-brush to scrub your back." Or You're poorly designed -- all your claws and limbs and you still need a back-brush to scrub your back.

https://archives.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=2023-08-29Panel 2: "Dunaloa" should be "Dunuloa". Panel 7: "You were incedible!" So it was impossible to cede Gwynn? Ref links: "Chius" should be "Chilus" and "Wilcot's" should be "Wilcott's". "House" should have a lowercase h unless "Wilcott's House" is its name. Maybe the diaeresis in "Zoë" isn't mandatory?

https://archives.sluggy.com/book.php?ch ... 2023-10-04It's unfortunate that it's come to this, but "it's" is not in its proper spelling. It's got an apostrophe which doesn't fit its place. It's too bad, really. Well, it's likely that this post has worn out its welcome, so it's probably time for me to go.
