'Unleashed'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
endie things for the rods (are they called linnels?)I think they're finials.
Well, we had Chris's party (I disremember if I talked about it here or in Bitches). None of the peanut/tree nut kids had an allergic reaction. Nobody got injured. Nobody cried. Nobody got lost. Nobody threw up. And? It's over. I'm calling that a win.
I think no blood is a sure sign a kid's party went well.
Hec, they don't need to make the text smaller, just narrower. Narrower text has GOT to be better than these options.
I agree with the Adorable One on this.
I've got a copyedit issue I wanted to run by the 'fistas.
Thoughout, she capitalized the words internet and 'net.
Like so: I’m unaware of any sort of human disconnect occurring from networking software and Internet use; it was always a way to connect, for me.
And: At each place, she was welcomed by these strangers on the Net, who took time off from work and planned sightseeing tours of their home cities.
It's making me nuts. Ease my pain?
Allyson, I've seen "internet" with a lower-case "i" much more frequently than the upper-case. (That said, my company's house style is to capitalize it, and right now I can't even remember why.)
As for Net vs. 'net -- the upper-case version makes me think of a fishing net. That's why the apostrophe, duh, crazy copy editor!
Allyson: Wiredlink
(That said, my company's house style is to capitalize it, and right now I can't even remember why.)I worked somewhere that capped Website and it's taken me ages to not type that automagically still. Which is ironic cause I nearly always screwed it up when I actually worked there.
Allyson, the style guide here at the Evil Empire capitalizes Internet (and Web). I personally don't agree with those rules, and understand why the changes would make you nuts.
I agree with capitalising Internet (although I often don't) but for some reason don't think it needs to get to net. There are many nets, and the net is the Internet. Unless otherwise specified.
Whose bright idea was the day job? Honestly.
But does it makes sense to say, "I heard on new sone on the Radio."?
Maybe it's just just because my default is lowercase? I mean, they left your name with the lower i, throughout your essay.
