【Private message】Seattle, your post lamenting the large number of typos and omissions in the staff comments—and calling for improvement—also contains a typo.
This content is machine-translated.
《The fact that they have not been proofread by someone else allows the staff’s individual character to come through freely, which is interesting in its own way》
× 公正 (fairness)
○ 校正 (proofreading)
(It seems that proofreading software isn’t all that useful at present.)
Lately, it seems to me that typos and omissions are caused less by ignorance and more by conversion errors or sentences being cut and pasted. Even people who would probably never make such mistakes when writing by hand end up making them with some regularity.
(This little piece of writing may contain some too.)
From my perspective, I’m impressed that the Universe staff can keep writing so many introduction comments one after another. I doubt I could maintain that kind of speed. If they had to prioritize either proofreading or speed, I would definitely want them to prioritize speed.
※ Also, from my perspective, and I don’t mean to be rude, phrases like “the fact that they have not been proofread by someone else” and “allows their character to come through freely” feel slightly awkward in Japanese and make me want to edit them.
《In text that has not been proofread by someone else, the individual staff member’s level naturally shines through, which is interesting in its own way》
