I'm going to add a comment to the 'edits'... it's a pet peeve of mine that I think few people notice, but I nearly always do, because I see it everywhere in books and newspapers.
"all the people that had worked hard..." should be "all the people *who* had worked hard..." Objects are 'that's, people are 'who's. (I suspect even Simon would require a 'who', since he has a proper name.) It crops up all over the place, and I hesitated to say something because it seems so, well, picky. ;) But I guess grammar is all about being picky, eh? I used to proofread when I worked for an advertising dept. *grin* and *hugs*
