No offense meant, but is English your first language? I found a lot of bad spelling, misuse of words, and broken sentences (mostly fragments) in just the first few pages of the paper. I think you're too concerned with impressing everyone with big words, and not concerned enough with clarity and readability. Read Hemingway. He gets his point across with very few 4-syllable words.

BTW -- before you write me off as a bimbo, I have a BA in Biology, an MBA, and I work as an Oracle DBA. So I have read my share of technical papers. But this one gets lost in its own words. Oh, and I started my career as a legal writer, so I know how to take crappy pedantic writing and make it readable.

Just what are you trying to say? That we hybrid drivers have formed our own 'system' or 'community' based on our difference from non-hybrid drivers? I think that's where those 50-plus pages are heading, but it's not clear.

Sorry to be harsh. It's Friday, and I'm tired, and I have little tolerance for people who think we'll all be impressed by the thickness of their prose.
