It is becoming more and more difficult to read stories on your Libertyville Patch site with the non-existent editing that goes on there. While some of the writers stories are excellent, there are so many that aren't spell-checked, have glaring grammar errors or worse yet, inaccurate information.

The latest is a volleyball sports story with a glaring error on the main page that tries to lead the readers into the story. This particular individual doesn't have a story I have ever read that doesn't have some sort of mistake.

Seriously, us Libertyville residents like the site, but even the editor is making very noticable errors in many of her own stories, it makes people not take you seriously, with all due respect. Just thought I would bring it to your attention.

My wife has mentioned this directly to the Libertyville editor on other occasions, but nothing has changed. Just thought I would tell you, as contacting her has not changed these problems at all.
