'other half' must be one of those Ukian weirdnesses... I never thought of it before.

Heard of your 'better half'? The superior portion of a couple. It is used all the time here. Maybe footnote it, GB?

I've updated with all suggestions except other/better half, have changed to "partner" to cover all eventualities; "daylight" I'm not an engineer, and am not sure peeing in daylight is a good idea

Leo, can you clirify what you want me to change in the quote,
>>Well perhaps not quite that much enthusiasm, but as a procedure it's not a trauma either.

- well perhaps *not* with...?

I've emphasised the "not" by reversing the italics tags but I don't get the significance, sorry.

>>peeing in daylight<<

no, not that exactly - it's just that any kind of pipe or conduit that eventually surfaces is said to reach daylight.

don't mind me.

It's just that there's no subject for the sentence "perhaps not that much enthusiasm" What's not that much enthusiasm? Who shouldn't have it? Or what? It's ambiguous.

<>

You've pulled the sentence out of context, if you read it from the start of the personal quote you'll get it

No, I still don't. Not unless there's a "with"
eg: "with that much enthusiasm" meaning You shouldn't have one with so much enthusiasm. Unless he's talking about his own enthusiasm, in which case it would get more complicated, like "I highly recommend one! Well, perhaps not quite with that much enthusiasm..."

Does anyone else see this problem? I don't know what it's called or anything, so if nobody else has a problem, I'll subside, but it sure is bugging me.

That's not my quote, so I'll have a word with the author and get back to you

Hmm

In post 19 you said <> then in post 26 you said <>


Anyway I've changed it to:

<>

Which is what I think you mean no doubt you'll correct me if it's wrong.

*ducks*

Should have checked my emails first!

Changed to "Well perhaps that's going a bit far, but as a procedure..."

(Stop taking the p*ss, Leo)

Bravo

Informative and useful. 50% more qualities than are usually found in my entries

(that may only be a half-truth)

I agree, I find SWL's entries informative and useful - should I ever need to know how to shrink a head, or mellify someone

You won't believe what I'm researching just now

I'm just trying to find a way to write it to get it into the Guide.

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.
