Um. I have, but that's probably obvious, considering.
Right.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, tommyrot!
Punctuation question: "newly developed engagement and outreach strategies" takes a hyphen between "newly" and "developed," right? Edit: Huh! My coworker says no.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
No. Adverbs modify adjectives; it's what they do. There's no confusion there. Although I see it all the time.

No. An adverb clearly modifies the adjective. A hyphen is needed when there are two or more adjectives, to make it clear that one adjective is modifying the other, rather than both modifying the noun.

Basically, if it's an -ly adverb, it's abundantly clear what's going on. If it's a word that can be an adjective or an adverb, then you use the hyphen to make it clear what's going on ("a poorly timed effort" vs. "a well-timed effort," "a quickly moving car" vs. "a fast-moving car"). I think.
