I work for a Pharmaceutical printing company, when we type set jobs for pharmaceutical companies we have to proof read every job word for word. Sometimes a 24X39 inch insert with 6pt type, usually takes a couple days to proof read front and back.The reason for this is because when we go to print if there is a misspelled word and the product gets out in the market we could be liable if a medication is taken wrong. Then the FDA would have a re-call and that could cost our company millions. So we take proof reading seriously. As for a magazines with typos,no harm no foul.

It’s like the difference between I am an idiot or you are an idiot. When you read it, it’s like a mirror. When you sound it out, it’s like a mirror.

| Is anyone buying the subscription offered on Amazon and notice it's less expensive than buying direct on the HVW website? Kind of confused as to how that works out. |

| Obviously you don't fish, HVW allows Amazon to toss out the bait, you get hooked, HVW gets the the renewal after a year at regular price, doesn't work all the time but neither does reeling in the fish. |

I don't know about the Navy requirements now, but back when I started working for Aerospace Contractors 34 years ago.
The Navy Specification for tech manuals was that they are to be written at or below 4th grade reading level.

| That Amazon offer to a one year subscription to Hot VWs for $22.97 still says from Wright Publishing.... Seriously out of date and needs to be either up-dated or removed. Not sure if Shin has seen this page... |

I think that OCI Media, the new owner/operatorsof Hot VWs Magazine, would NOT have to honor that Amazon subscription, as they are no longer Wright Publishing...
