I spell-checked my item before submitting it (allowing for obvious proper nouns and game-speak); but I forgot to re-set the spell-checker to US English (doh!).</p>

<p>This is RPG Superstar. And you only had 200 words or less. The justification for a typo is pretty darn small. Just my view on it.</p>A typo I might be able to grin and bear. But not much, frankly.

<p>I'd like to know if this would be grounds for instant rejection (which I would respect, I just had to re-re-re-read myself) or are submission granted a small editorial lee-way when a typo creeps in?</p>
