Ah, the differences between British and American English ... What you point out as incorrect possessives and the non-use of the serial comma are not mistakes in my neck of the woods. If I were at home with my books I would dig out my English grammar guides and bore you with citations. But I'm not, so you're spared that questionable delight. Earlier on this evening I tried to 'convert' this page to American English (as the subject is American) and so went back and changed the spelling. As I don't know much about American grammatical rules I left well alone, so thank-you for converting those and bringing them in line with the rest of the newly-'Americanised' article. But I would point you in the direction of the Manual of Style, especially the parts about national vaieties of English. Please realise that what may appear glaring errors to you are not necessarily errors to all users of Wikipedia. Oh, and by the way - if you see any spellings I missed that need changing, please get stuck in! Thanks. Jasper33 21:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
