Ben and I focused on getting a readable text out there that is useful for 
people wanting to use Spec. Personally, having experience with writing lots of 
English, I'm actually quite happy with how it turned out and I think the text 
is quite readable.

This being said, we are nonnative English speakers (and writers) and I am sure 
that there are worse sentences than this one in the text. I don't think this 
one is bad at all, actually. If a decision is made by the people coordinating 
the PFTE book to appoint an editor, I'm sure Ben and I will be happy to 
cooperate.
