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

You're subbing my entry on the Monitor and Merrimack. I thought I'd open up the lines of communication.

Hi Jodan,

nice of you to drop in. I'll get back to you when I've torn your entry apart, err, sensibly subbed your fine Piece of Art... Could be next week or so.

Okay. Every sub I talk to says something to that effect. I'm thinking I should just check the spelling and grammar beforehand.

Hi Jodan,

as promised, I've now found some time for subbing your masterpiece. It's at A1012582. If you spot something that needs attention, please drop me a note.

Thanks, I'll look over it

'hasn't' makes it seem like there has not been one since. Perhaps 'had not been'?

Consider it changed.

Thank you. I'll recommend you to all my friends,
