Fixed some issues on Officer Commanding

Proof reading is a killer. Yep, I do it. Problem is I'm often to close to what was just written so I miss many of the typos and bad grammar. When I look back on a page months or years later, the mistakes pop out and so I try to update when I have time. Such was the with the page called "Officer Commanding" which has short bios of some of the commanders and officers in the LRDG.

I made some major edit on David Lloyd Owen and Jake Easonsmith. Hopefully the bios make more sense now.

On a side note, I also made a few changes to the other elite units page. The SIG section had a few errors.

One aspect of my pages is I try to write the page so that a person with 10th grade education can read it. This requires shorter sentences and smaller words. I do this to assist younger readers and non-native English speakers/readers. I also want to the site a more informal feel. I don't want the page to feel like a history lesson. There are enough page on the Internet that do this.

Hopefully this comes through on the LRDG site as well as other web pages at BlindKat

Fixed some typos in LRDG terms.

Besides adding the phonetic alphabet to the terms sections I also fixed some glaring typos.
If you didn't notice there is also a section called "Other Special/Elite Forces. It has been there for a while but recently was revised. I've also added some stuff int he weapons sections in the last three or four months. Look for more updates in the coming months.

Updates to page

I will now start using a blog to discuss changes, corrections and updates to the page. I will also post any news that is related to the LRDG here
