    Minor Grammar Error

    In the Stealing from the Rich description the first sentence says "has writing" when it should be "has written". The tense is wrong. The second sentence is awkwardly phrased, and the third sentence is unclear what "it" is referencing.

    Hope it's not too hard to fix. Sorry to be grammar police I hate it when people do it to me.

    Personally I'd wright it as follows "A very concerned landlord has written you a letter. One of his master archers has turned rogue! He is hiding in the woods and stealing gold to bribe peasants to riot. Do something to stop this!"

    Although it doesn't really fix the awkwardness of the second sentence....

    Now, you just know someone is going to do it, and I hate being the language police as well, but you wrote write wrong (lol say that 3 times fast). You wrote it "wright" which is wrong...unless you are talking about the Wright brothers!
