I would be absolutely delighted if someone could prove me wrong.
I run a community proofreading project. (http://cocomag.dyndns.org) And
if you apply enough game mechanics proof reading someone elses work can
feel less drudgery.
Can the shear number of tasks I am getting people to do for free be
considered proof?
