RECOMMENDATION - The Court finds the defendant either innocent or guilty but recommends special provisions be made that fall outside of the remit of the Code of Criminal Law Act. It is up to the Monarch to decide whether to implement these recommendations. A case can therefore have an INNOCENT - RECOMMENDATION verdict and a GUILTY - RECOMMENDATION verdict.The part in red should be "can, therefore,"
7.2 The Monarch has the right to supercede the court process in extenuating circumstances such as war or invasion.supercede should be "supersede."
Both are correct, and in this case your suggestion would stylistically be worse because it overuses commas.Quote from: The Judicial Offices ActRECOMMENDATION - The Court finds the defendant either innocent or guilty but recommends special provisions be made that fall outside of the remit of the Code of Criminal Law Act.

This is one of the cases where the mistake is common enough that many dictionaries will list it as a correct spelling (because dictionaries are descriptivist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qT8ZYewYEY)). Consequently, this possible typo doesn't hinder meaning/interpretation at all.Quote from: Code of Criminal Laws7.2 The Monarch has the right to supercede the court process in extenuating circumstances such as war or invasion.supercede should be "supersede."
EDIT: I accidenally hit enter, so the topic title is messed up. It should read: "Grammar Checker of Wintreath?"You can edit post titles. :)
You can edit post titles. :)How? And don't you mean thread titles?
I hope you don't mind if I criticize your criticisms. :PI fail to see how using two commas in a sentence is overusing commas.Both are correct, and in this case your suggestion would stylistically be worse because it overuses commas.Quote from: The Judicial Offices ActRECOMMENDATION - The Court finds the defendant either innocent or guilty but recommends special provisions be made that fall outside of the remit of the Code of Criminal Law Act.

Generally, any major typos are either caught before laws are passed or fixed in Omnibus amendments. It's something that everyone going over the laws does, and as such I don't see the need for a specialized position dedicated to it.
At the same time, I don't believe an official position is necessary for this. A dedicated topic in the Citizens' Platform and some willing volunteers are all we really need, I think. Once all the laws have been proofread and the changes proposed in the aforementioned topic, citizens and members of the Storting can decide which changes should be implemented and draft an omnibus correction act.I see that I may have been a little extreme with the dedicated position. I'll still do it, though. Should I start a different topic for this now?
Technically, posts can have titles too, though they do nothing in this forum. :PYou can edit post titles. :)How? And don't you mean thread titles?
EDIT: I figured it out, as you can see.
Perhaps overuse was the wrong word. I think maybe it's better put this way: unless you were intentionally trying to create the effect of a pause in the reader's mind, the commas were redundant, and even if it were intentional, it feels a tad stylistically awkward IMO. Of course, I may be wrong. :)I hope you don't mind if I criticize your criticisms. :PI fail to see how using two commas in a sentence is overusing commas.Both are correct, and in this case your suggestion would stylistically be worse because it overuses commas.Quote from: The Judicial Offices ActRECOMMENDATION - The Court finds the defendant either innocent or guilty but recommends special provisions be made that fall outside of the remit of the Code of Criminal Law Act.

I like how your quoting of me carried over my post subject. :D If this is a bug, Wintermoot, I suggest looking into it.

Someone please enlighten me what's a grammar bug?Or it's a bug in the grammar of a language...but primarily what Pengu said.
Meanwhile, a system of proofreading seems fun ^_^
