Great content, proofreaders needed.
Outstanding stories (mostly). Some of the enthralling and engrossing ones diluted my immersion in the fascinating worlds with words that broke through like flotsam. Why are so many written works not carefully read by people before publishing? I see in virtually every novel or anthology a common lexicon of words that are correctly spelled but misused. Common displacements include: vice for vise (imagine a vice-like grip), hone in for home in, flare for flair, to lay for to lie (as in he was laying on the floor), to my friend and I rather than to my friend and me. So many pseudo words might make sense from the context but are not found in dictionaries (and these are neither dialectal nor jargon). Please have a human being with grammatical and lexical sensibilities be the last quality control monitor, not a software spelling checker which can't make discrete judgments discreet.
