"They're playing a video game: building weapons that dont work to meet threats that dont exist. (apostrophe not present in either “don’t.”) 2 hour/3rd (I dislike the use of digits, used for things other than times and dates, where written form would look more appropriate “two-hour/third,” but if you simply must use “shorthand,” “2 hour” then don’t forget to include the hyphen.) Same goes with “5 minute.” “Day time” is a compound word. “but, draws a blank except for anger without a target.” (Unnecessary use of a comma.) If I am not mistaken a “cant” is a type of South American bean. I believe you mean, “can’t.” He's been abducted by star aliens. (If you’d like you can take this line out of the passive and put it in the active by saying “He's been abducted by star aliens. Tiajuana (Pretty close, it’s Tijuana.) film makers (compound word.) How is that possible?, (Unnecessary double punctuation, since a question mark effectively serves to end any complete thought.) …radio. you may ask, when… (Not capitalized.) dialling (One “l” not two. I had to disable the “correct” function on my computer just so I could print the word with an unnecessary extra “l.”) bushwack (Forgotten “h” in bushwhack.) signalled (Same problem as with “dialling.”) it'stachyons (Need to separate “it’s” from “tachyons” while dropping the apostrophe, since nothing belongs to an “it.” So is the misfortune of the poor “it.”) meaning or something (unnecessary space.) …story is condensed but, in stories of this a kind, it's used as incantation: (Unnecessary use of comma after “but.”) THE X-FILES are admirable but totally humorless and paranoid. (“are” should be changed to “is” due to the fact that although the name of the show is plural, there is only one show, therefore a singular.) otrageous (what happened to the second “u” in this word?) THE X-FILES have argued, (once again there is only “one” show therefore it “has argued.”) yodelled (Same problem as with “dialling” and “signalled.”) "Misplaced my decimal point." said IVAN, looking morose. (This line is slightly ironic considering you placed another point. There should be no period here, this is a place for a comma.) slip stream (Compound word “slipstream.”) …variety even in your paranoia.. (Unnecessary double period, ending this sentence.) Most common mistakes: Forgotten apostrophes; misplaced punctuation, especially at the ends of quotations; Unnecessary breaks throughout, either due to improper formatting on web-page, cause unknown, or writer error. This has been exclusively a spelling and grammar check, since the writer did not bring up specific review criteria when queried. " -- JA St.George.
