Minor typos: “grass in a few metres radius.” – This should be “meters”.
It might be different in America, but a 'metre' is a unit of length, and a 'meter' is a measuring device.

Americans, thanks to Noah Webster, spelled alot of words differently. The above is the official British spelling for the word, and should not be faulted ^_^

Thanks English. I will keep that in mind for future contests.
Sorry Malevolent, but I am not sure it'd be fair to other contestants if I change your score now.
But I will add a note at the bottom of the post I used in your review so people reading it will know that it wasn't your fault. =p

Yes, Noah Webster was almost single-handedly responsible for most of the spelling differences between British and American English, including changing words such as 'Centre' to 'Center', as well as dropping the silent u in 'Colour' and 'Odour'.

Thats fine Logan, just more motivation to win the next one.
I actually had a part in the epilogue explaining the object, but I took it out...
Anyway, I'm happy with the 20/20 for description. :P
Oh, and there's a great UK vs US spelling wiki page. Hopefully it helps make things simpler.

Well goodluck with that! =]
Ooh, that's a good resource. Hopefully I won't have so much trouble with it in the future.
Sadly I can't just offer to change scores, because if I do that everybody will find something "wrong" with their score - hence loads more work, and unacceptable confusion, lol.
