I think no blood is a sure sign a kid's party went well.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
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!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
(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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
No, but in the first twenty or so years of radio it might have.
Our company standart is Internet capped, intranet, etc. lower. Web is only caps if you're referencing World Wide Web - has anyone done that since like 1990?
