I am always checking the text for errors, which are extremely easy to make and even easier to overlook when you have to proof-read your own work. I correct them when I find them - sorry to all of you who have read an erroneous part of my work before I corrected it. This is an ongoing project, and nothing is exempt from being updated or changed. If you find an error or want to make a constructive criticism ("prove to me what you said in section so-and-so is true, you moron" is not considered constructive - there are other resources to check besides mine), please e-mail me at fredfern@texarkanacollege.edu.
