Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Much job ~ma for Danaa's DH.
Matt, glad to hear good news about your mom!
-t, that's such a gorgeous area! I'm almost envious of your vacation except for the "backpacking" part. Have a great time!
The landscaper is here. I touched a plant I shouldn't've and now my hand itches. Work continues to kick my ass but I am slowly winning this battle. Q'apla.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Good mom news is great, Matt!
Job~ma, husband of Dana!
Happy vacationing, -t!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Fellow grammarians, have we lost the battle for not hyphenating an adverb adjective combo before a noun? In other words, phrases like "poorly defined law" rather than "poorly-defined law"?
I'm pretty sure CMOS agrees with me, but I see it all the time now.

We don't hyphenate adverb phrases when it's clear that the adverb modifies the following adjective, like when the adverb ends in -ly.

I'm with Zen on not using the hyphen when -ly is involved.

Good. I'm going to cling to you guys in this era of deteriorating standards.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm with Zen on not using the hyphen when -ly is involved.
Yeah, that's never needed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I only learned that rule recently! I'd call it a recently learned rule, even.

There should be a reality TV show about editors making difficult calls on punctuation.
