I've read stories that started off with kudos to the beta, only to find a boatload of typos and grammar booboos (if I may use that word). There are too many free apps out there for writing to leave excuses for misspelled words or simple grammar mistakes.
I think I've mentioned around these here parts that whenever a story has three or more betas I make a bet with myself as to how soon I'll find an error. It's generally within the first paragraph. I admit, though, that I'm more critical about grammar than most. :-)
Many offer, few are qualified. Or perhaps, when it comes to betas, few offer, even fewer are qualified. Still, it's nice of people to offer - I know they mean well.
