I'm new to h2g2 and essentially just wrote the first thing to come into my head and am not sure if what I've written is remotely appropriate. Any (constructive) comments welcome.

Hello,

Oddly enough, almost every alarm clock in existence has a snooze interval of 9 minutes. So when you hit the snooze button, it goes off again 9 mins later. I'm not sure why this is, but it's strange.

Yours,
Jake

one typo: striaght

You could perhaps add something more about finding the /off/ switch in the morning, accidentially pressing while intending to hit the /snooze/ button (and oversleeping, of course), and how tricky it can be to set an alarm time with those tiny, tiny dials and buttons.

Anyway: nice, short and to the point! And you even managed to put into neat GuideML. I think it's time for the really hard part of it: take it to the Peer Review and ... wait!!! It can take ages to get comments, and some more time for recommendation, subbing, and pending. I'm not trying to put you off, but you know, things are somewhat like that smiley - erm.

Keep up the good work!

Editorial Note: This Conversation has been moved to the new 'Flea Market' Forum.

This is where we move any Peer Review, Writing Workshop or Alternative Writing Workshop Conversations where the original author has *not* posted to h2g2 for three months. This prevents the active Review Forums from clogging up with dormant entries, but in the Flea Market they can be picked up by others and polished off.
