Corpus Christi looks like it's getting hammered. - (mmoffitt) - (20) - Aug. 25, 2017, 03:44:19 PM EDT

Fingers crossed that it's not as horrible as it might be... - (Another Scott) - (17) - Aug. 25, 2017, 07:36:01 PM EDT

What's wrong with "They're talking about 3 feet of rain"? -NT - (CRConrad) - (16) - Aug. 27, 2017, 07:44:57 AM EDT

Phrasing... - (Another Scott) - (15) - Aug. 27, 2017, 01:11:43 PM EDT

No, I meant: What's that freaking hyphen doing there? -NT - (CRConrad) - (12) - Aug. 28, 2017, 04:11:26 AM EDT

It's another illustration of my weird typing skills. - (Another Scott) - (11) - Aug. 28, 2017, 08:59:17 AM EDT

My example was a compound modifier, yours was just wrong :-P - (drook) - (6) - Aug. 28, 2017, 10:37:22 AM EDT

I used to subscribe to Car and Driver magazine... - (Another Scott) - (5) - Aug. 28, 2017, 10:48:29 AM EDT

One of the authors I worked with called herself the Queen of Unnecessary Capitalization -NT - (drook) - (4) - Aug. 28, 2017, 10:49:54 AM EDT

I do that too. I blame it on taking German as a foreign language... -NT - (Another Scott) - (3) - Aug. 28, 2017, 10:51:25 AM EDT

Didn't take German, but . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - (2) - Aug. 28, 2017, 11:02:26 AM EDT

I do it with quotes - (drook) - Aug. 28, 2017, 11:53:29 AM EDT

Dunno when it was that modrin-Muricans morphed into eschewing Capitalization.. - (Ashton) - Aug. 28, 2017, 02:47:27 PM EDT

No it isn't. In "there's a 3-ft sinkhole" it is, but in "the water is 3 ft deep" it's separate words - (CRConrad) - (1) - Aug. 29, 2017, 03:09:09 AM EDT

I blame Twitter and Autocorrect. They're always responsible. ;-) - (Another Scott) - Aug. 29, 2017, 11:12:03 AM EDT

Corpus Christi missed the very worst of it. - (a6l6e6x) - Aug. 25, 2017, 11:05:19 PM EDT
