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

Incidentally, #13 needs a lightish touch - the voice is very American, and the spelling should be too.

Likewise, in Billy Joel (not sure which # that is) I changed "spectre" to "specter" to keep the American flavo(u)r.

So British English as a standard, with US English for particularly American entries.

File 13 done & sent (hopefully to your new address?)
1 change
2 uncertainties best left as is, imo

Rod

Not got it yet... I'm at [email protected] and should get it automatically. Z's at [email protected] and will have to forward it manually, which is fine.

I'll take #14.

Does anyone fancy taking on the Master and splitting out the next few sections? I've been doing an initial proof-read as I go when I've done that, which is why it's taken 20 minutes or so per section to split them out. I guess it's not really necessary, but it is another pair of eyes, and I'd only have to do them later when I incorporated the changes.

It's not in bad shape as it stands, but there are some minor errors I am picking up as I go, mainly quote marks, hyphens that don't have spaces next to them and the odd spelling mistake.

It's quite soothing really.....

Soothing?

I lied

It's soothing compared to a lot of my life: it doesn't present an intellectual challenge, it doesn't pee on the curtains, and it doesn't answer back....

Point me in the right direction, hold me hand and start whistling Dixie.

Seriously, just tell me what you need looking over and I'll get to it

I think we are up to date with the ones I've split out Magwitch. I'm going to split out a few more, but not until early next week. I need to focus on the GBD this weekend.

B

Unless I email you the master and you split some out for me? If you are up for that, let me know and I'll email it over tonight.

Ben

Yup, please do.

Brill. Won't be for an hour or mebbe 2, but I will do it.

B

No rush...
