I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I definitely wasn't talking about nowadays, ita. I was just addressing what I thought sumi was asking about 18th c. English usage. There are definite rules for capitalization nowadays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
but make sure it's a kevlar sandwich board. Those machines look pretty dangerous.
FYI, those won't stop blades. Kevlar stops bullets because it halts their rotation and stops their penetration. Won't work with thresher blades.

yep, 9 yo Willow Smith signed to Jay-Z's label. Really annoying song, totally getting airplay to the tween audience.

Oh, in slide presentations you should be animating all the important words so they flash and dance around. Right?

Punishingly Intricate
This kind of baffles me, because I've never heard of anyone foregoing gluten for non-medical reasons*. And in some cases, the answer to "Is it going to kill you?" would be "YES THAT IS WHY IT'S CALLED AN ALLERGY YOU JACKASS."
I get the impression that most people who forego gluten are intolerant to it not allergic. It's not actually going to kill them, it will just make them feel bad. (Which, of course, is a totally valid reason for not eating it!)

Yeah, but, like your parenthetical says, someone eating GF has a valid reason for eating that way, and so the Annoying Doubting Person really has no grounds to question *why* the GF person is eating that way. And that means not asking "Is it going to kill you?", when it's clear from the tone of voice that they're being sarcastic.
Now, if someone is really curious, and says, "Hey, can you tell me why you eat gluten-free, I don't know anything about it?", that's one thing. And I'm glad to do it. But when someone asks, "Is it going to KILL you? Why do you always have to be different?", then I'm pretty sure they don't want to know why I eat gluten-free; they're just annoyed that I won't eat their corn bread.
