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

Hi, congratulations for your story being picked for the Underguide! I have made a copy of it and 'Polished' it. Could you have a look and make sure everything is alright? Here is the UG version: A17324822 Pretty much all I did was switch the curly quotation marks into straight quotes, which looks much nicer.

I can live with straight quotation marks instead of curly ones. I'm glad you didn't change the creative bits. A few punctuation marks have come out as question marks so could you change them:

Dropping things, putting things in the wrong place in the fridge? she's obviously retarded.

"Oh. I mean, if she drops something, it's her fault, and if I drop it, it's because she didn?t put the lid on tightly enough."

"You mean, now that it's acceptable to be 'gay', it's not acceptable to be gay??

"The symptoms you've described match the listed ones perfectly. Telling jokes, laughing, being optimistic, spontaneity? it's a classic case."

"Of course not. How could anyone memorize every symptom of every mental illness in the book and prove they don't have it? Even I couldn?t do that."

"Don?t be silly, Bert. Nobody could dislike us," Ginny says.

"Officially, it is. It doesn?t matter. Standard hospital policy is to hold patients indefinitely regardless of whether they show any symptoms of mental illness or not."

Hmm... To me, they didn't show up as ?s, but I went through them anyway, and the spots were curly quotes that I missed. I have fixed them now, does it look right to you?

Yes, it looks fine now.

Great, I'll let the UGeds know it's ready.
