      Glad someone else pointed it all out, these kinds of simple grammar errors drive me crazy, not to mention such a ridiculous number of people can't seem to differentiate one from the other.

      If you're going to put so much work into something, at least make sure the wording is right. -_-

      Story seems great so far and I like the drawing style. But if this artist is going to put so much time into it anyway, would it really be that hard to ask someone to proofread it before posting it? The grammatical errors won't stop me from reading it, but I would enjoy it a lot more if those errors wouldn't pop up every second panel.

      I just don't get some people. Author put SO MUCH work in this comic (Tell me 'Tia isn't cute, tell me it's easy to do such thing, I DARE YOU) and you guys focus on stupid grammar bugs? Of course if you make errors in your native language something's wrong (I for instance speak mainly polish, but I care about my spelling), but seriously. When someone's creating comic that can make grown man cry (dammit my loose tongue) you have to concentrate on such details?

      don't get it wrong.
      the comic is adorable, Celestia drawings ( is this actually a word?)are superb.
      i don't know if the author know about the grammar mistakes and he was just planning to correct them later.
      i was *trying* to make a fast list of all mistakes to help him correct them (in the case he was not aware of them)... but i've found too many halfway and i just went humoristic.
      good drawings will never get bad with bad spelling.
      but such a beatiful comic would go very good with also good spelling.
      Love and tolarance.

      In my case, I haven't even notice any errors. And (except for pages 0 & 1) it's still sketch. If it was final version, grammar bugs would be shame, but it's too early to point out and condemn. The less bugs the better, but it shouldn't be main topic.

      Yeah, this was infinitely adorable. The spelling, though... It was kinda distracting. I mean, I kinda started ignoring what most of the text said after a while, and it was still cute as hell, so in that sense no worries, but legibility is important for a comic, too. If it has words, anyway.

      I agree; the grammar errors were a bit distracting. If I have to actively block my brain from expecting proper spelling and grammar, something's wrong, and it dampens the experience. Still, the comic series is amazing, and I love it.

      Also, you may want to consider that your comment contains one grammar error. That's how it usually goes with people who criticize grammar. Heck, there's probably one in my comment somewhere. :)

      Oh, that's perfect!

      So far, the comic's more "cute" than "story", which I find slightly annoying, but I like it and will try to follow it. The grammar and spelling mistakes are annoying, yes; I think I'll see if the artist wants a proofreader, or if he has one lined up. I'm just wondering how Derpy's going to wind up in this...

      "Allot of doing." How does one distribute doing?
      "Your fired." His fired WHAT? What does he posses that is now fired?
      "Well were here." I can't make fun of this fun without resorting to poor grammar, so I'll just correct it: "we're here."
      "Surender" isn't a word. "Surrender" is.
      SO MANY MISUSES OF "YOUR" AND NOT REMEMBERING "YOU'RE" IT HURTS!!!
      "Hollidays?" It's got one "L" too many.
      "Prommis" isn't a word.

      Nah, I'm betting Celestia gets fed up w/ our bullshit and goes Caesar-from-Rise-of-the-Planet-of-the-Apes on our biped asses. Chaos in the streets of every city as horse turns on man. Desperate world leaders in a underground bunker pray for forgiveness from their human God as they order a desperate nuclear strike.....that is completely futile since Celestia has now taken control of The Sun and uses it to "heat treat" the planet to rid it of humans, the same way you would heat treat a house to kill off bedbugs.

      The good: The art is cute, the story has potential, and for some reason I like the dad's mustache. Seriously, Celestia is just so adorable she threatens the very lives of whoever look upon her.

      The bad: SPELL CHECK. GRAMMAR CHECK. THEY EXIST. USE THEM. I really don't like to be super-critical on this, but it's really distracting.

      I'll still keep an eye on this, just to see where it goes.

      For me there has always been one thing that conflicts with Equestria taking place on Earth. Luna and Celestia control the sun and moon's rotations.

      As a scientist I will now make it my goal to create filly Celestia, or actually maybe Woona as she's 20% cuter, however according to Einsteins theory of ponitivity that level of cuteness is theoretically impossible to reach and can only be approached but maybe......

      I watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I know how this all ends...

      The Professor standing in a forest, surrounded by angry equines. He faces Princess Celestia, and begs her to come home.

      And she says, "Celestia is home."

      @Specter Von Baren

      Read Celestia's Notebook. It has a very interesting take on why Celestia and Luna are different from every other pony and command the sun and moon, and why the earth's rotation is screwed, along with all the other issues, such as seasons, growth, and weather all needing extraordinary manual operation to make function. Luna and Celestia alternate giving the earth a "spin up" at dusk and dawn. They also maintain the sun's gravity and output and the moon's orbit of the earth and tides, respectively. Being a "sciency" story, and not a god story, it also fits well with this one, conceptually, though it's NOT a humans in Equestria or Equestrians on human earth story. Obviously, there will be major differences, as such, but I do LOVE the concepts from "Celestia's Notebook" and how they pertain to all the minutia of world operation and technology as defined by the actual series. I certainly could imagine a magical/science mishap that messes with the earth in this story.

      Celestia's Notebook and Paradise are my 2 favorite origin stories. This could prove to be pretty awesome too, if handled right.

      OK, to anyone reading this comic and thinking of Planet of the Apes: you do know this will be explained without violence, right?

      On good authority I can say that the comics will be proof-read from now on, as I'll be doing it.I kept trying to point out spelling errors to him, he'd say "Oh I'll fix before I post", but he doesn't listen, just posts reguardless...

      But, from now on, all pages will be proof-read and corrected / re-worded before posting!
