• 3/5 - pretty good considering I have hardly read any news stories this week. BTW, what's up with the typos and grammar in this one? Δενδοδγε _τ\^c 09:23, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

  What typos? I don't see any there, and the grammar seems ok ... Tempodivalse [talk] 14:57, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

  Last time I checked, "maintenanced" wasn't a word (I think you mean "maintained"). "unhealthy amounts of exhaust" also sounds slightly dodgy to me - perhaps "fumes" should be added to the end. Δενδοδγε _τ\^c 18:52, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

  OK, noted about the "maintenanced" thingy, that was presumably a typo (i was a bit tired yesterday, not sure what was going on there). The "exhaust" sounds okay though. Tempodivalse [talk] 19:39, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

  The "exhaust" one is borderline, I'd say. I just generally don't use "exhaust" as a noun to mean the fumes. Δενδοδγε _τ\^c 22:29, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

If I may offer a suggestion, perhaps you'd like to be slightly less number-heavy on the questions next time?
