I don't know about this Harry is quite a different sentence from I don't know about this, Harry. Commas are your friends. Or they can be, anyway.

Separate has two e's and two a's, all lovely and symmetrical. And personally, I'm biased enough to think that a volunteering beta-reader who claims to be "good at grammer" should at least know how to

hey! maybe i'll be able to remember that. i end up squinting dubiously and looking that one up every single time.

I look up a bunch of nouns that end in -er or -or. Some things just won't stick.

>And personally, I'm biased enough to think that a volunteering beta-reader who claims to be "good at grammer" should at least know how to spell it. I'm picky that way.

I keep finding myself wondering if grammer is some weird American spelling or something, since I see it so often... I have been told my "grammer" is good before, and it left me somewhat unsure whether that was a good thing or not. Ehe.

That might explain it! Or not.

Anyway, I think you should pride yourself on your good grammer, but if people start complimenting your speling, there may be cause for alarm.
