I doubt if she does !
I am no Vulcan liguistic 'spert but I think that has more to do with a glottal stop than a diacritical mark ?

It's grammar Jim, but not as we know it..................... :D

I have been a member of NGS longer than I care to remember and I would suggest that the Journal has improved dramatically since Graham took over and the last edition was probably the best ever. Even the professional magazines and newspapers have grammatical and spelling errors as spellchecks don't always pick up the fact it is the  wrong word. Proof reading is a time consuming, boring task and after while you see what you expect to see.
I like a previous contributor have decided not to renew my subscription to Model Rail as the cost of postage to Canada no longer justifies the purchase when the NGS Journal has reached the standard it has and provides a wide range of articles but particularly the trade information and evaluation of N gauge focussed products. There will always be articles that are not relevant to one's specific interest but even then there is often ideas that one can build on.
Congratulations Graham and keep up the good work!

How about subscribing to the digital version. Cheaper and received faster. Pity the NGS journal is not digital as I am still waiting for my copy. Love to see what you guys are on about - excellent articles.
Damn forgot the apostrophe  :D

I usually read my copy of the journal the moment it drops through the letterbox, and would like to extend my congratulations to Grahame for the superb job he has done as editor since taking over, the journal is of a standard that in my view challenges any of the current model railway magazines, indeed I generally only buy one a month now as the journal gives me almost everything I want.
It is always easy to criticise, but there are few volunteers like Grahame who give up their free time to do these jobs and they do eat heavily into spare time (I volunteer for the Royal British Legion so I have an understanding of this), so I would say to the nit pickers, try doing the job first before running a critique - I can guarantee it will change your viewpoint.

Regards,

Alex
