SpaceShipTwo Design and Pics Released

An anonymous reader writes "Designs and photos for Scaled Composites and Virgin Galactic's new suborbital spacecraft, SpaceShipTwo, and its carrier aircraft, WhiteKnightTwo, have been released." Lots of specs and numbers if you're interested in that sort of thing although nothing hugely detailed.

    Would have thought by this time the editors would have learned apostrophe rules. They aren't that hard.

    Sorry, I know nobody likes a grammar Nazi, but I've gotta do this, it's for your own good.

    That's "similar", not "simular"
    That's "1500s", not "1500's", and you get a bonus point if you say "the 16th century" instead, and a bonus cookie if you can write that in Roman numerals.
    That's "transcontinental", not "Trans contental"
    That's "nor", not "nore"
    In English, country names, nationalities and languages start with an uppercase letter, so that's "American" not "american"
    That"s "cruise", not "cruse"
    That's "government", not "governemnt"
    When you're comparing two things and that you hesitate between "then" and "than", it's "than", not "then"
    "their jollies", not "they jollies"
    That's "affordable", not "afordable"
    That's "mostly anyone", not "most anyone"

    Also, you don't need start every noun with an uppercase letter, only Germans do that. And to the rest of you who are about to suggest me that the parent poster may not be a native English speaker, look at his website, his name sounds awfully Anglo-Saxon and it says he studied in Connecticut (and no need to point out an eventual typo I may have made, I'm dysgraphic, I can't type a sentence right without proof-reading).

    Oh, and I'm not a native English speaker, actually, I'm French. Ouch, I know, it hurts.
