PostSubject: Proofreading Application.   Mon Jul 06, 2009 2:56 pm

Hello, I'm new here but I hope i did alright. Thanks for the opportunity to apply. I probably fail though. haha.

First Page

Bubble 2: Is it really okay? We're four against one here.
My Version: Is it really okay? It's four against one here!

Second Page - On this page, all "PE" are meant to be "P.E." (Two periods are inserted, to show its an abbreviation)

Panel 1 & 2: In the afternoon PE classes were started. This is the continuation from last story.
My Version: In the afternoon, P.E. classes started. This is the continuation from the last story.
Bubble 3: No, you can't Suzu-chan. After all, you're really late compared to the others.
My Version: No, you can't Suzu-chan. After all, you were really late compared to the others.
Bubble 7: Come on, you should at least memorize the multiplication table for today.
My Version: Come on, you should at least try to memorize a multiplication table for today.
Bubble 9: Cmon!
My Version: C'mon!


Third Page

Bubble 8: Tsk, so the real one's there.
My Version: Tsk, so the real one was there.

Fourth Page

Bubble 2: I cant believe it, she's doing a bunshin no justu and it moves differently!
My Version: I can't believe it, she's doing a bunshin no justu and each ones moves differently!
Bubble 3: Even if you say it, I said I'm a ninja.
My Version: Even if you say it like that, I told you before that I was a ninja.

Fifth Page

Bubble 1: I-Ikuto-sama.....
My Version: I-Ikuto sama...(just one ellipsis.)
Bubble 4: Ahaha no, no; you're kidding right?
My Version: Ahaha, no! Nah... you're kidding right? (For those of you who disagree, allow me to explain. I believe that the repetition of 'no' sounds awkward, so i replaced it with colloquial variants((or synonyms)) of 'No' and added an ellipsis to achieve the same effect as a semi-colon. However, I'm probably wrong. Meh.)
Bubble 6: I get it, Kunai-san has four twin sisters! That explains this! Yes, I knew it!
My Version: I get it now, Kunai-san has four twin sisters! That explains it! Yes, I knew it!
Bubble 7: We are four sisters, Kunai-nee is not a twin or a quadruplet.
My Version: We're four sisters, but Kunai-nee is neither a twin nor a quadruplet.

Closed your bold tags for you. for future reference, to close a bold tag you type [/b].

-Love Mongo-sama

ya i agree with SMX i also have made a PR test that is actually what proof readers do as opposed to QCing 3 pages with intentional errors. it includes translations and raws of parts of 2 different NA chapters and a chapter of ZnT.

you (SMX) can keep it, ignore it, whatever the link to it is here
