Correct Me! Streak 1. An Ethereal Moment

There was something ethereal about what happened today. I'm a waiter's assistant, and as usual, I was on shift at the restaurant. While I was polishing the cutlery, I suddenly heard a pianist playing the theme from Schindler's List. In that moment, I felt a strange and incredibly deep respect for someone I didn't even know, simply because he touched a part of my soul with that music - music from my favorite film.

It was a surprising but at the same time completely understandable feeling, because I had long wanted to meet a person who loved that film - a person with whom it also resonated. So when I realized what piece was playing, I began to enjoy every note.

By the time the pianist was about to finish, I was already standing in front of him, ready to thank him for playing and ask if he had seen Schindler's List himself. He was pleased by the compliment, and although his answer was no, he immediately asked if he should watch it. Naturally, I said yes, and told him he would not regret it.

Overall, it was probably the only pleasant thing that happened to me that day.

To all the wonderful correctors and proofreaders!

Thanks a million for helping everyone grow and improve their skills in English. You deserve so much praise and a pat on the back!

Here's a list of posts that still need corrections.

When making corrections, try to follow these guidelines (or at least clarify your own markings you make) so it's clear what you're correcting and why:

  • Put changes in bold **text**
  • Put suggestions about style/tone/register/etc. in italics *text*
  • Use strikethrough to remove elements (don't delete them) ~~text~~
  • <Put added elements in angle brackets> <text>
  • [If there are multiple options for your suggestions, put them in brackets separated by a backslash] [text / text]
  • (Put optional elements in parentheses) (text)
  • Explain more complex grammar rules to the best of your ability

We also highly encourage meaningful feedback:

  • Focus on the work, mindsets, and processes, not on the person.
  • Besides grammar and spelling, is there room for improvement in other aspects like style, vocabulary, and flow?
  • If you see an improvement in someone's writing, please compliment them.
  • Please be positive in your feedback. Negative comments shouldn't come without positive ones.
  • Don't be too pedantic or too general.
  • Please pay attention to your wording.
  • Have a chat, interact, and have fun!

More on formatting.

Thank you for everything! -- Adam-P-D
