I had to go to all this trouble to point out that a hyphen in the highlighted phrase really would have aided the meaning in this sentence.
True, ass-bears would have been clearer.

I couldn't decide which way I wanted to modify things, so I left the hyphen out. Could have gone either way.

My husband loves his job. AND he's hot.

My oldest boy is really into history, and tonight at dinner said, "Too bad a career in history doesn't pay the bills." Boy, what a bummer it is that my boy is cognizant of the drugdery that lies ahead -- at age 12.

One space or two? I could change to one, I suppose.

It makes sense but should be ignored in law where you have periods all over the fucking place, not just at the end of a sentence.

I mean there's the whole F. Supp., F.2d. alt.sex.fetish.feet things to think about and two spaces after a period at the end of a sentence tends to tell people that this period is a period different from all the others.

In an ideal world, a space would be used to separate characters and there would be different symbols to use to indicate a pause. // But we do not live in an ideal world. ' Do we?

Re: Lamest k race win ever

has anyone heard from penske since he had the layover in Minn? I'm worried the itchy feet problem might have gotten him arrested.

Re: Lamest k race win ever

This is pretty funny. Not sure whether Namath as Yoda or Michelle Ryan as sexy Leia is more genius.
