Hi all,
I'm creating a newspaper's frontpage taking place in a post-apocalyptic world - after "the Great Awake" - where the people would be united, putting in place an international currency, publishing newspapers in all spoken languages, etc.

This frontpage is meant to be a retrospective on day one. I will need help for correcting some phrases I wrote in english, and which I believe are not always very explicit. And if you wish to contribute, you're welcome ; I just need articles (or just short portions of text) that narrate the events of day one and talk about the present situation (the year is 2042), in english or any other language.
I just begun working on it ; here it is.

Merci, ça fait très plaisir ! :] - hablo un poco espanol también pero he olvidado mucho desde el colegio. :/
Do you know anything about calling zombies "zeds" ? Could this word be used as a pejorative denomination for the zombies (in the context I explained above), like in Neill Blomkamp's District 9 (in which the aliens are called prawns) ?
Yeh you do help me, thanks ! :]

Maybe "deadfuck" wouldn't be usable by, for example, a tv host talking about the zombies. I mean a word which would have replaced the actual word in either... arg, I don't know the word for this. I mean the current language, which you speak all the time, at home etc. and the other one, which you use when talking to hierarchical superiors, teachers, etc. Voilà.
I mean an "universal" word for the zombies ; not a curse word, but not very respectual either. Could "deadfuck" be appropriate for this ?

Anyway, I think I'll write the front page mostly in french, because I've decided to use it in the first scene of my movie, and it's meant to be a hint concerning the plot (which I just wrote).
Thx !!

PS : "zach" ?
It's been a bit long, but since I have little free time... I've only done this :

Imagine this, printed on newsprint, crumbled and with some dirt on it.
What do you think ?

H.
I couldn't access the link at work but I'll see it when I get home... p.s. if my boss reads this I was just kidding, I'm at home ;)

ANYWAY, I think in a after Z attack world most survivors would be pretty use to cursing.... so I dunno if having a few bad words in there is a bad thing.
