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

I notice in the article A430886
they use the word plane for aircraft.
maybe that would be an option.

Thanks GB!


Now you have changed 'trucks' into 'lorries' [planes] would make this sentence scan better. You don't need the comma after the word 'lorries' though.

the nmore I looked at the places to go section the more it seemed Devos Hall needed to be up in the list. so I moved it.
Also in the first bit aircraft is now planes.

As to the comma my grammar book says
"Each element up to the second-to-last one must be followed by a comma, and the second to the last may be: that is, it's a style decision. A comma in this position is called a serial or series comma, and some writers put it in and some don't"
That said I think I will keep it.

I think the title should be: Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

as people outside the US don't know what "MI" means.

I'm resisting posting all the punctuation and GuideML errors, because the sub-ed will fix them anyway so can I just ask you to check your footnotes?
1 In 2009 This team, along with its league, suspended Play due to financial considerations.
2 Amway, was one of the great originators of multilevel marketing. Amway brought its founders Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVos a lot of money. A lot of stuff around the Grand Rapids area is named after them.
3 although when the big rock bands come through, they usually perform at the Van Andel Arena.

1 *This* = this
Does "Play" require a capital letter?
2 Amway, = no comma required.
Make 3 begin with a capital letter.

that's done.
I am going to check on Olympics
back in a few.

I'm back- anything else need doing?

Well, RL calling. Back tomorrow.

Good point!

I thought it was Missori.

You can blame the U S Postal service for that.
we were using four letter abbreviations in the sixties and then along came all these two letter abbreviations.

anything else?

Didn't I tell you in post 24:

<>

This = this

post 25 I meant

<>

=
which will be moving to a brand new building [on] 1 January[insert comma] 2011.

I guess I overlooked it
