:I think part of what has caused this controversy is that 'Essays' are, by custom and courtesy, not edited by anyone other than the original author, so people have been standing back - but if you're happy for others to help(while presumably not altering the thrust of your essay), then  that's fine. I would certainly be happy, with your consent, to make a few cosmetic touches. [[User:Bugler|Bugler]] 06:48, 21 September 2008 (EDT)

::Bugler is correct, Jpatt.  I asked up above if you wanted any help with typos, rather than fixing anything, due to that custom.  There are a couple of things you could do that would help other people "copyedit" for you, if you have the time and inclination.  First, if possible, break up the huge paragraphs into shorter, more digestible ones (not that there is anything technically wrong with long paragraphs, but they do tend to daunt the reader).  Second, again, if possible, add some section headers.  While headers are more of a wiki thing than an element of formal writing, they help tremendously with organization.  Think of them as chapter names if that helps?
