I will work on sending it this evening. Unfortunately I can't send it from work.

No worries at all! I appreciate everything that you do for us Sir Txec.

[Sir Lüc]

Should we start putting these on the Wittenberg news ticker, and maybe swap them out when the next C'hronica is released?

That's a fantastic idea!

[Sir Lüc]

Will do so when I get to my pc!

I REALLY wish someone had told me that there was a HUGE error in this edition mentioning King Robert instead of King John. I sent the newsletter as I usually do, without proofreading, as this is the government's newsletter.

It's indeed a curious lapsus considering that he was King 18 years ago 😅

My sincerest apologies Sir Txec. I had sent the text to you before you, Breneir, and myself had the discussion about the error yesterday.

God forbid this sort of thing happen in the future, but supposing it does, what would be the proper course of action?

Thank you for your assistance, and I sincerely apologize again for the egregious error.

I could proofread myself, but I've always felt that it isn't appropriate for me to do so on government or party emails. I don't mind proofreading, don't get me wrong (I am an English teacher after all) but I don't want to step on the toes of ministers and party leaders. If you wish for me to be another pair of eyes, I'm willing.

[Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB]

I only realized there was an error after Count Hooligan emailed me thanking the kingdom for including the story about his beloved sister and wondering if King Robert returned to make the announcement :-)

[Miestră Schivă, UrN]

I knew the TNC was living in the past, but this is ridiculous :D

Seriously, I would agree that it's the Government's job to proofread their own official communications.
