  • I don’t know where to start with why this is an infuriating post. In addition to believing that virtually all words need a pound sign appended to them, the capitalization here is a crime against humanity.

    Camel case for StatusCoup, followed by all caps for LIVE, then we can’t be bothered to capitalize a city name. Then, it’s just random tags. Yeah, we’re a news aggregator. As such, “press,” “news,” “media” and the suddenly camel-cased “BreakingNews” is literally what people are expecting.

    Now, why you placed this in World News is confusing.




























  • One thing Ed does is use my cadence, so it comes across as very natural. It’s kinda like how dogs sniff each other and feel comfortable.

    He was right.

    Yeah, a good writer will reduce things to this size of a sentence. Now, this requires skill … three random monosyllabic words and a period gets you nowhere. It’s a bit like comedy in that the setup is required for the punchline.
