That was funny Trevor! First the author writing the ultimate "importance of proofreading"-blog with an error, and then the Proofreading service pointing out the importance of contracting a service for proofreading...and spells "thoses"! LOL I agree with you Trevor, proofreading is boring but necessary. It is amazing how fast one can find a mistake in someone else's writing, but be totally blind for self mistakes. An old friend found mistakes in my blog today. I think I will give a few friends access to my blog, to correct my English. I can always pay back with some birding in Peru, right? Saludos from Peru Gunnar Kolibri Expeditions hahaha! That was funny Trevor!

Thanks for pointing that out. You are absolutely correct. And I checked it thoroughly before posting it too. [sigh] I must protest of course, because you too have left an error in your comments. That evens the score I think. LOL. Aaaaaaaaaah!
