	::::::Well, if you're that adamant about it, the first thing that comes to mind is to simply run your version through Microsoft Word's spelling and grammar checker. Not the automated thing with the squiggly lines beneath the words, but actually clicking the spell check button. It will get the obvious stuff about 95% of the time. The rest is either "that's actually a word but not the one you meant" or "you formatted it weird, causing a false positive". You'd be surprised how many times the translators here don't even do that part themselves. Other than that, while I skimmed through them, nothing immediately popped out at me as incorrect. There were a few odd word choices, but when compared to the Baka-Tuski version I realized that it is the translator's fault and something that the official editors should be fixing, not us.		::::::Well, if you're that adamant about it, the first thing that comes to mind is to simply run your version through Microsoft Word's spelling and grammar checker.

			:::::::Hum... I'm not sure how well that would work since the spelling is in British English and because I'm using suggestion mode on GDocs.

			:::::::In British English "pajamas" is apparently spelled "pyjamas" and apparently it's not just British English. Apparently some people consider American English a "brutally savaged" version of English. The origin of the word Pajama/Pyjama is apparently Persian and is derived from the word پايجامه pronounced pāyjāmeh. So... nevermind, I'm ending that rant here. Do you have a skype or something that can be used to chat a little? Because this method is a bit clunky.
