h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm an american. the sentance doesn't sound right because all it is is a subject. There is no verb that links with the subject. What are you trying to say?

and no, the second one isn't confusing, because the verb "is" is used: "A designated driver **is** your buddy, or mate, who cares enough to stay sober while you are drinking

To make that sentance into a problem like the first one, you'd just have "A designated driver."

And now I know where your name comes from I am usually bad with grammar. What would you suggest that would not make it sound like the similar sentence in the second paragraph? Or should I just lose it altogether?

Perhaps something more like "A designated driver is someone who provides safe transportation home, after you've been drinking"
Just a thought

In keeping with the general driving theme, are we nearly there yet?

I'll turn this car around!!

I have made some changes and if the Professor would be so kind as to look over everything again and give me my final marks I think I am done.

Just a few more things and you're done::

"or deaths hands" should be "or death's hands" otherwise you're referring to more than one death hand.

"While partying don't forget your DD, they may be your friend but they don't want to be bored." Two things here. First, make it two sentances
"While partying don't forget your DD**.** They may be your friend but they don't want to be bored."

Next is the they. There may be more of these, but I missed them. Proper grammar dictates the use of "he/she" instead of they, as "they" refers to multiple people.


That done, I think this is ready. And to the Editors, don't worry, the end is in sight.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Hooray! Nice job Agent X

Hi Agent X,

I've been given your fabulous entry to subedit, and the nearly finished version of it is at A1170253. If you spot something that needs attention, please drop me a note...

Can we put a bar between the first two paragraphs or is that against the writing rules?

Not to be conceded but can you through my name at the top of the writers list.

Should “Remember if you have arranged to be picked up be where you said you would and on time. Its only courteous.” Be with a comma?

Thanks

that should be throw not through, of course

Hi Agent X,

done some changes:

- The bar is re-inserted. Always thought it is un-official, but <./>SubEditors-GuideML</.> says it could be used, although sparingly.

- Your name is on top of the researcher list, but unfortunately the list is ordered by researcher number on the article page. This is a sort of a nuisance for you, but there are already plans on the road to address this, see 'More Contributor Fields' at <./>Development-Features</.>.

- Commas added.

Read it again. Looks good

Thanks, SchrEck
