Missing words...

Is it bad to point out a missing word?

In "X":

" There may be a 10th planet, but it more than likely very small."

Shouldn't there be a 'would' and a 'be' in there somewhere?

'There may be a 10th planet, but it would more than be likely very small.'

Sorry if I'm being pedantic...

Argh, put the 'be' in the wrong place. I blame the badgers.

There may be a 10th planet, but it would more than likely be very small.

Gnomon - time to move on

Hmm. Thanks for pointing this out. Normally I'd just get the eds to change something like this on the spot. But given that a 10th planet has been discovered recently, it might be worth changing the thing substantially. Unfortunately I don't know much about that new tenth planet. Do you?
