Greetings,

I found the 18.10 blog post (published on May 14, 2018) through a link on 
DistroWatch, and while reading through, I noticed several typos/grammatical 
mistakes. Please do not take this the wrong way; I like Ubuntu Studio as a 
project, and I want it to have a professional image so people can feel 
confident about it as an operating system choice. If whoever's in charge of the 
website wishes to fix the typos, here they are:

Paragraph 1: "remaining with what you you have" - the word "you" is repeated by 
mistake.

Paragraph 2: "an unique flavor" - a common mistake for non-native speakers, if 
a word starts with the letter "U" but that letter makes the sound of a "Y," it 
is preceded with "a," not "an." So it should be "a unique flavor." In addition 
to being technically correct, this also sounds much more natural.

Paragraph 5: "a close decedent" - the word "decedent" means a dead person. It 
sounds like you meant "descendant," something that has developed from an 
earlier version.

Nepomuk bullet point: "performance problems in Plama 4" - obviously should be 
"Plasma 4."

Myth 3 section: this section abruptly ends with "Xfce will remain to be 
offered" and no punctuation. I'm not sure if that sentence got cut off or if 
it's just missing a period at the end, but either way, it's pretty glaring the 
way it is right now.

If the Ubuntu Studio project has any interest in having a proofreading 
contributor to check for issues like these before publishing the posts (or 
setting up a system to provide mechanical feedback like this more directly), I 
would be happy to volunteer for that. Otherwise, thanks for your attention.
