What Makes You a Man

I finished importing all the schoolmates from niklascomics.de. Even though these have ceased, I thought the art should still be reserved.
I started grammar and spellchecking these, but then wondered if I should? Some might like the charm as an actual boy wrote them, and I'm not sure if they're written by Niklas, the author, or the commissioner.
Should I go through and fix them and leave them as is? Also, how do you like the design?
Great idea!
imho, leave it all as is… unless obviously BAD phrasing which may impact the understanding 😉
The design is great, I didn't even remember that there were so many on the original .de site.
I'd keep them as they are.
Wow I totally forgot about the old Schoolmates section.
The design is great! I like how you can see each class in a line even if it really shows off how many more boys are in some classes than others.
As far as typos go, I think I would fix the main Schoolmates page, anything that's an obvious mistake in the welcome message, like, "But once our parents paid for all the stuff, they’ll actually do." should probably be something like, "But since our parents had to pay for these uniforms, sometimes THEY'RE the ones who force us to wear them."
I'd probably vote to leave the individual profiles alone though. Each one is kind of an homage to people who used to hang around the site, and even if it's a little embarrassing to have a typo saved for all time it's also kind of endearing to the character they were portraying. You can't have a penpal without dealing with a few spelling and grammar mistakes.
Hi, my name is Niklas. I’m the one to the left with the blond hair and those goofy freckles. I’ll tell you in some cartoons and stories what happened after I told my best friends the truth. You should know, I love my friends, really! And guess what some of them, like Fabian and Jason, love me too! I always thought they’d say I’m weird, well, maybe we’re all weird.
