As interesting as it was to receive an email from the Curator today, It really could have used a few additional "goments" with The Proofreader. It's a grammatical atrocity. While I think I understand most of it in context, I'm not sure more that a couple sentences are correct.
Reproduced here:
My dearest Todd,
While writing the introductory above, the precise moment my quill hit the parchment, I felt a wave of relief unlike any I have felt in ages. It felt like a flow of cool water rushing from my head, downward in a torrent, to pour out from my feet to the floor.
Ah! The solution, or perhaps the source: I speculate the sensation stirred as I saw the one might even say that these goments—where the grindstone is shortly interrupted to allow time for the nose to recuperate—are much like the dipping of a pen in ink: an opportunity to refill and refresh
What has kept me so occupied? Oh, you'll know next week, but here is an inkling: It will be a rare opportunity for members, those who have recently joined its and those who have been for five years (less a week). Many treasures have been unearthed with some had been forgotten for quite some time and some new treasures discovered months ago are now almost ready to share with you! Many of you will want to speculate. Do not! Let the day come to you.
And with that, I must make my leave.
Your servant,
The Curator

My thoughts exactly. While the announcement is intriguing, the writing quality is scary to say the least.

I wonder if the writing is so awkward because There is an underlying hidden message... just a thought.

I think the underlying message is a lack of education.

Roles at MPC: The Curator, The Artificer, The Professor, The Messenger, etc.
I don't recall seeing "The Proofreader".

I think it's just indicative of their increasing lack of quality and inattention to detail. But then, I admit to having become rather jaded and cynical where the MPC is concerned.

Over on the Facebook group, there is chatter about a message hidden in the typos. I could not tell if it was nonsense or not.
