Title: Towering Retribution

Thanks for the review. After rereading the first couple of lines of my story,
your point has been aptly driven home. I've noticed that I tend to do this
occasionally, but it's normally not THAT bad. At least, I don't think it's
usually that bad. To be completely honest, just reading those first few lines
after having that pointed out is making me fairly embarrassed... Oh well.

I'll probably do some editing on that chapter, and I'll definitely keep your
critique in mind when writing the next chapter. Big thanks to you for pointing
that out.

Since I am the editor, I feel the need to reply. I admit, I have gotten lazy
with my writing/editing, but I will concede there are some points I need to
work on.

I will keep in mind the things I need to work on, and I have made a note of
the things you have pointed out. All except for the two below.

We don't capitalize things like dragon, dog or mouse, that's correct. But we
do capitalize things like 'that Komodo Dragon...' or 'those Dalmatian
puppies...', just like we capitalize Charizard and Pikachu. The pokemon thing
I'll also keep in mind though, but I don't capitalize them 'just because' or
'because everyone else does'...I've heard those excuses, but because that's
how the rule goes. Prove me wrong. =|

You only write out numbers with letters if they are smaller then ten. You
don't write out three hundred fifty six nor one million, eight hundred fifty
four thousand, nine hundred ninety nine. Centuries or decades should be
spelled out, such as nineteenth century and the Nineties. The only time it is
acceptable to write out a number larger then ten using letters is if that
number is followed by another number. Example: You wouldn't say 'those 100 14
eyed dogs', nor 'those one hundred fourteen eyed dogs'. You would, however,
say 'those one hundred 14 eyed dogs'. Also, '12 percent of the people' and
'twelve percent of the people' are both acceptable.

Now, not everyone agrees on these two, and they are in fact not rules set in
stone. Both are acceptable either way, and whether you agree with them is not
my concern. These are points that people argue quite a lot, the capitalization
of animal names, fauna and flora, and numbers.

Thank you for your input. Have a lovely day.

Thank you for your review! I mean it (it means that someone has read my
story). I will try to keep the things you have pointed out in my mind and
apply them to my writing. I was a little confused as whether I should
capitalize the Pokemon titles.
I hope that you will continue to read it and help me grow as a writer.
