Calling all Grammar Nazis and English majors.

hithar. I have been given a rather strange piece of writing as an assignment. All I have to do it correct any sort of mistake there might be, whether it's grammar, spelling, punctuation. Anything. Sounds simple enough, right?

I have already picked out and corrected the ones I could find and was wondering if anyone could find something I had left out. I will type the paragraph exactly as is, with no corrections.

You see, Arthur von-darth, a 43-year-old toronto resident , is "The Wedding Dress Guy." Hes the who tried to sell his ex-wife's wedding dress on ebay last year "hoping to get enough money for maybe a couple of Mariners tickets". The date, april 23, 2004, probably sticks in his head better than his old anniversary. That was the day Arthur decided to have a little fun with the dress he found in his attic a couple of years after his divorce. He put it on, took some phottos of himself in it and posted the dress on ebay. It started as a silly gag to get a chuckle out of his buddies, but the post went up on a Friday and the e-mails started flooding his inbox on monday. "It wasn't calculated, not at all," Arthur said. "Everybody thinks Im this marketing genius. I'm just a idiot. "I basicaly wanted to make my friends laugh. I put the dess on (for pictures), put the funny ad copy to it and basically e-mailed my friends saying, 'Hey, look what I did.'" What followed was an surreal roller coaster of publicity and other odd events, including several marriage proposals from women in the u.s. and beyond. Arthur appeared on NBC's "The Today Show," cable news shows, newspapers and magazines as varied as People, the New York Daily News and Crossdressers Digest.

If anyone cares enough to help, please bold the mistake and make note of the correction. Thanks!
