Quantifiers - Please, correct my mistakes! :D A majority of people said that the Intenet is their primary source of information, and in fact *quite a few* respondents, said they never used it. Two main advantages of the Internet were mentioned by *all* people: easy access and up-to-date content. *Both* of these features were given as problems with newspapers and magazines. *A large number* of respondents say they spend more time watching TV. Both normal and Internet-based TV remain important sources of information, and *each* of them has maintained healty audience figures. The Internet has helped the radio maintain its status as a preferred source of information for at least *a few* respondents who spend *a large amount* of time listening to their radios. Most respondents commented that although newspapers or magazines were more reliable than *hardly any* the electronic sources, in fact *any* of the three, TV, radio and the Internet, was more convenient. Four people said that they use *no* other source but newspapers and magazines

"Most respondents commented that although newspapers or magazines were more reliable than *hardly any* the electronic sources, in fact *any* of the three, TV, radio and the Internet, was more convenient" This is the only sentence I have an issue with. "Hardly any" means "very few". If you say that A is more reliable than hardly any of B, then you're saying that B is usually more reliable than A. "Any of the three, TV, radio and the internet" - This isn't correct as it is. You could put "TV, radio and the internet" in brackets. You could also just say "Any of the three" (if it's known what the three are) or "any of the TV, radio or the internet". Here's how I'd write it: "Most respondents commented that although newspapers or magazines were more reliable than most electronic sources, in fact any of the three electronic sources (TV, radio and the Internet) were more convenient." By the way, you misspelled 'healthy' as 'healty'.
