...and your auto correction will fail in more important cases, where a missing char makes a "he" out of a "she", which can (depending on the context) be pretty confusing for the reader.

Hopefully, I have improved a bit since I first started writing, but at least nobody will say it's just AI. ;D

i really wish there was a "hello, i am an editor and a reader now" way to send in typos and errors.  i generally don't send them, because i don't want to be a jerk saying "it's 'their' not 'they're'!"

but if there was a to state 'like 50% of the way through: "she walked into the bthroom, and pulled back the shrower curatin" "bathroom, shower, curtain"' that would be amazing.

i've been digging through ancient stories this past ~month, and those are even worse from what i've seen.  it's kind of a broad survey, so i'm probably reading a lot of trash from not-so-great authors.

i'm sure someone thinks the same about me.

Same here, I only do that if the author asks me to;
in addition to that, it's too late anyway as the story is already published when I get to read it.

So, what would be needed is kind of a pool of users willing to test- or proofread stories before they get published, and a list of stories maintained by the authors, from which the test-readers will pick.
Something like (author, title, tags, length), so the test-readers don't run into stories they don't "want" to read (tags), or if they do not have the necessary time to read (length).
