Here's a suggestion - after you've set your genius to paper, try reading it over a couple of times for content, then hand it to another party (or two) who can spell and read and comprehend, and then take notes (criticisms - constructive and otherwise) and do what is necessary to make the best work possible.
Argh!
Now, if you will excuse me, I must go breakdown the newest version and line it all again, trying to ignore the remaining issues (or, at least, keep them to myself until we are on set).
Example: Their call sheet states filming 1-2/8 pages for scenes 1, 3, 5.....and that is not right. The only way you get 1 and 2/8 pages is if you cover 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Typos like that by a 2nd AD are unacceptable and can make for a LOT of confusion for several departments. Now, I can point this out and look like a squawk-box (helping 'drobe and all in the process), or I can say nothing, look like I don't know what I am doing and plain just don't care. Do you see my conundrum?
Triple argh!

...do the right thing...it will/could reflect back on you. It's like having a dirty house. It's never the man's fault that the house is dirty. It's always the woman's. Got it. Got it.
