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

I see that subeditors need to be good proof-readers.
I don't want to be one (I don't think I can stand to read the word "cool" outside a weather forecast again...) but do you want to know about a handful of typos on the "Don't Panic" page?
Regards, Carlton.

*chuckles* I saw those, but was very politely keeping my big trap shut.

And uncharacteristically, too?

Thanks for pointing it out. We are onto it. Fix on Monday....

*ahem* *blush*

OK, I'll check back mid-week and see if you've spotted all the ones on my marked-up copy.
(Not that I'm competitive, or anything; just a vicarious perfectionist!)
Cheers.

Carlton being as you have done such a *sterling* job on this already how about you email them to me? [email protected]
and gain my undying gratitude .... xx

And he did email me. Thanks Carlton! xxx

Aaaaah... but were they fixed?










(Yes I know, I could look... but I ... er.. uhm... uh... )

I believe so. Deputy Editor Anna got right on to it. Thanks Anna....

Oh my! They must not have told her about the long lunches.

Welcome back, Anonymouse; still stirring away?
*And* you've called your own bluff, since you claimed to have spotted the typos you could go and see if they're still there...
I find I can resist the temptation, myself, but then I've been amusing myself pointing out to http://www.mapquest.com where they have typos in street names near my home, so I'm not *really* slacking!
Cheers, Carlton.

I didn't mean to call a bluff... I was just too lazy to go back and read through all that again, so I guess I -am- slacking.
