I think everyone knows the drill....I'll rewrite the reporting guidelines soon....

Thanks Ballotonia for this:

For the record, my own list of 'open' items is:

-#000: (option 1) as much AS sense; (option 2) That's why ALWAYS we always
-#001: (option 1) for better or FOR worse (add 'for')
-#002: (option 3) THIS protest this morning -> The (repetition of 'this')
-#003: (option 2) 'wackos' -> different word?
-#004: Big BusinessES is/are; (option 2) businessES is/are
-#033: (option 2) sacriledge -> sacrilege
-#041: (all options) "from out the window"
-#069: (option 3) this is relativEly small
-#082: (the issue) arrisen -> arisen, and AI's -> AIs, and (option 2) But the androids -> The androids
-#085a: formats hard_dRives accross
-#090: (option 2) AN acceptable rate; No "?" at end of option 2?
-#093c: achievement -> acheivement
-#094: (option 2) "," after randomname
-#106: (option 2) comma between 'expensive' and 'sure'? ; also: programme -> program
-#106b: programme -> program
-#109: programmes -> programs; (option 1): programmes -> programs
-#119a: programmes -> programs

Obviously, these were better explained in the thread itself.

I'll try to find a copy in my temp internet files or something



[list=1:d9d4da9438] "The government is too centralised," complains rural villager, @@RANDOMNAME@@. "We get these big-city politicians making rulings that effect our way of life, when they have absolutely no idea what our way of life is!..."

Technically, that can be read as grammatically correct. However, affect is probably the word that the villager was looking for.

"Councils? Are you mad?" gasps political commentator, @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Most of the politicians we already have earn very large sums each year - and you want to employ even more?! We must not listen to the whims of some dangerous separatist movement, next they'll be wanting independence!..."

A semicolon should replace that comma, since "next they'll be wanting independence!" is an independent clause.
