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

- totally removing everything that was unnecessary and any linkss to things that I don't understand.

It needed to be done anyway!

A fine introduction.

If you convert it to Guide-ML (not rocket science), then you could add a link to your wonderful articles in the h2g2 Post at A36703316

If only converting to to Guide-ML were as easy as converting to Islam. It was a necessity in order to wed Fatima in Morocco and required no more than saying (in Arabic) 'I believe in one God and that Mohammed was his prophet' - (not quite sure of the spelling) and when the muffti asked me whether I was 'just saying that', I replied, "I've built fifteen mosques, how many have you? and that settled things until lunch (over boiled sheep's heads next to the abattoir), the thorny question (debated in Moroccan) as to whether I was REALLY a muslim - in that I had had had the second most unkindest cut of all performed. Getting the gist of the discussion, I stood up and offered to my credentials by urinating on the remains of their lunch.

I was prevailed upon and assurances were given that I was, indeed 'cut' in the right place, upon the discussion continued as to whether or not I was Jewish.

You can't win.

Sorry - what did you say?

Does it matter?

Not really - I removed a mistake (in punctuation), included another 'any linkss'and thereby proved that by doing absolutely nothing in cyberspace, you can provoke some sort of response, advice and comment.

Watch this space as I undergo GuideML conversion - no doubt encouraged by a Teutonic, size 11, editorial boot - "vee ha vays of making you submit you goddam donkey stories in a vay zat vee kan make zem feet zee post," and the 'pedantic' bar steward will become subdued.

I did wonder about your first post because I couoldn't discover any changes to how your PS was before. I hadn't noticed any wrong grammar or punctuation, though. I've given up on trying to teach you guide ml.

I've never, ever, 'seen' you subdued Pedantic.

Probably not - I close the windows at night.
