That's awesome, shrift! Fingers remain crossed for you.
I somehow didn't realize I had an early morning training today (I swear they must've moved the time), and was up until about 1:30AM last night. Ouch.
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds good, shrift.

Better to be unexpectedly surprised in that way, shrift. Much better.
Sorry Strix, I don't know from CMoS. Have you looked at the OWL at Purdue? OWL stands for online writing lab. Tends to be my go-to when students need to look up formatting questions.

Because books.
Strix, Book Title would be in single quotes in that example.

I met a Pomsky today -- that's a mix between a Pomeranian and a Husky. Adorable mini-Husky, and so very calm, too -- the passenger held her dog all through the ride without a peep from the dog.

Adorable mini-Husky
That sounds like my perfect dog. Fluffy and small and loveable and not yapping all over.
Given the size disparity of the two breeds, would Mom have been the Husky?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ah, thanks Amy! I thought so.
Burrell, the OWL is awesome, but it focuses on academic papers, not fiction. I always referred it to my students, too.
Ugh -- I have been editing 5 hours. Time for a wee break.

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