• 16:1516:15, 22 February 2017 diff hist +3 Zero-marking in English Ok, fixed some more. I don't care what the Handbook says, this was incorrect before and is now correct. I can tell you that Yorkshire people do not omit the word "the" (I was born+raised there). If you can't hear it very well, that's your lookout.
• 16:1216:12, 22 February 2017 diff hist −2 Zero-marking in English Fixing this. As the article say, the word "the" is not omitted in these cases, its sound is abbreviated. So removing it from a written transcript would be unnecessarily misleading and confusing.

• 07:2807:28, 4 December 2016 diff hist +24 Billiken I think it's politer to issue information than commands. I don't know on what grounds a writer has the right to assert that the reader "should not confuse X with Y". Sounds imperious, and rude.

• 06:2806:28, 14 August 2016 diff hist +12 Honolulu molasses spill You might think me splitting hairs by qualifying in this way, but on the other hand, saying that "all sea life" was killed sounds entirely nuts to me.
