Hey  Amy, nice entry already 
I totally love Heinleins books - its a shame more people dont realise how powerul scinece fiction can be in letting the authors choose their own political settings rather than having to conform to what societies we already have.. has to be said though, some of the societeies in the Heinlein novels sound very scary indeed

Actually, I wrote it (as a research paper in English class) and Amy is the one editing it (at least she's supposed to be)...unfortunately we can't make the guide realize that...

You'll have to e-mail the text to her or something, then she can fix it, e-mail it back and you can post it.

Actually we got it all worked out some time ago. She has the article, I'm just waiting for her to get some time to edit it, as she says there are some factual errors and such. She was also going to help with the conversion to British English.

Bristish English is pretty easy, as far as I can tell at any rate. Word has an option to spell check it in British. Then you sheck out the style guide to make sure the stuff is formated properly, and you're done.

Except I rather disagree on principle. I'm American, my entry will be in American English. So there, <tongeout>, and so on and so forth.

Look buddy, I'm the ugly American on Guide. Don't try to go usurping my position.

Thank you, Vogonpoet.
Perhaps we should start an orginization for ugly Americans who don't like British English...

surely playing scrabble in america is just really boring with all your silly z's lying all over the place?

I don't really play scrabble.

I do. I'm a big fan.
Interesting tidbit: Heinlein mentioned Scabble in Farnham's Freehold.

That's one of his books I haven't read. Although it does seem very much like a Heinleinian game.

It was given to me as a gift. I didn't think I'd like it. I don't much care for older science fiction.
I did a little review of it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F56374?thread=159310.
The Scrabble game was used as part of a money making scheme.

Hey Vidmaster!
Do you think the BBC would ever let us link to our FLASH presentation on Stranger in a Strange Land? (A good book, to fulfill the house rules) Do we even have a copy of it?
If not, that would be a pity.
