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

I'm getting confused! Are the zombies also keen to be in the film?

I thought they might be when I read the clause 'zombies within feet as they buzzed past Steve and carried on towards the dock, salvation and global megastardom' .

Thanks for (proof) reading this, in the interests of full disclosure and to avoid further confusion ....

Ive discovered there's also a missing "s" in blood-soaked. Steves ponytail has never, to my knowledge, been in contact with anything oaky...

All that research into ferries from Catalina, the type of helicopter favoured by film crews and the top speed of an unmodified Segway and the missing comma gets top billing!

My apologies for the confusion. Wait til the Romanian butter gets a mention!

The Post Editor says sorry, and has replaced the missing 's' and the comma.

If there's anything else I missed, let me know.

I knew a retired meteorologist once, nice man, but prone to be critical. He was a student in my night German class. I typed up all the classwork because my adult students objected to the baby stuff the community college insisted on buying...anyway.

I could never manage to avoid leaving one typo on a page, no matter how many times I proofread it.

And that meteorologist would pick up the sheet and find the (English) typo within seconds.

What made it worse was that he had an eyepatch over one eye...

I can only plead that I was completely distracted by the brilliant research into ferries from Catalina, the type of helicopter favoured by film crews and the top speed of an unmodified Segway. I tend to appreciate details like that.

The difference a comma makes!

Obviously a great deal to some.

For the want of a comma the meaning was lost
For the want of the meaning the fun was lost
For the want of the fun the desire was lost
For the want of desire a writer was lost
And all for the want of that bloody comma.

Pity really,.

I hope I haven't put you off writing stories, FWR!
