Thank you!
Necromancy appreciated.

Thanks for that, it is welcome.

I adore the fact that the publicly available writing guidelines are so massively detailed! This company... they get me, they really get me. :)

I for one am pretty happy. It's much more like my own writing style, so it doesn't trip me up any more :)

It's like they wrote those for GURPS players or something :)

Yeah, having written for a tech company where it was not so clearly laid out we had consistency issues arising from different writers and editors. That annoyed internal customers, editors and writes alike and wasted time and money.

Glad to see they are joining Chaucer, Shakespeare, Jane Austin and Oscar Wilde! (Not to mention The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language).

For the first time in years, I have something in review with them.

Meh, whatever.

I'm just hoping for a new wishlist.

I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus thanking SJ Games for making this change to the style guidelines. I've been glad to integrate it into my current writing project!

And the Wishlist is updated.
Only Deep Space was added, which is interesting as we had one just a few months ago with issue #3/110. And its not an error as the rest were taken off.
