From the article:
>> The jeep designers (unh-huh) seem to have chosen utility over comfort.
Is "unh-huh" the name of the company? If so, is it supposed to be in lower-case?

(Unh-huh) was a sarcastic remark. I don't believe there was really a professional jeep designer, just a bunch of b*****d vehicles that were created to make use of slurplus jeeps after the wall, and evolved, animal-like, into the form we see now.

I've finished checking the entry. Now, I'll try and find some links to other Edited Entries, then I'm ready to submit it to the Editors. They take about a week to check it, then it goes into the Edited Guide!
