Hi Mark, The offer was not intended for me to rewrite all of the entries or convert them to one consistent style, but to handle the proofreading and review that Nils had mentioned in his original note as I am a native speaker of the language with experience in writing. I only mentioned if someone had issues with my style on the chance (as you noted) that some developers may want their pieces rewritten for better coherency. I believe you and I are speaking to the same thing.
