-
Your citations are inspiring. I’ve been lazy about using the blockquote HTML tag—but no more! Thank you for your precision and dedication.
-
You have an unclosed italic bracket on sung-through which borks the formatting of everything that comes after it on the Community page and on your own comments feed.
-
j/k, no probs about the glitchygloops. Everyone who's been here a while has borked something or another.
-
Should have got a good phone.
-
I hear you about editing from a phone--but don't give up, MaryW! I enjoy your citations.
-
bilby, you must have been right on it. I edited out the extraneous stuff within a minute or so.
I've learned my lesson: don't try to do much here with my iPhone: it's too hard to proofread and edit.
-
Please take care not to unncessarily include site menus in copy-pasted comments.
-
In many cases "See citation on word" is also a good option.
-
You have an unclosed italic HTML bracket on elytron.

John Kaag, "Fatal Courage," American Scholar, 90, no. 1 (2021): 16, 17
At the heart of the Christian story is a radical tension between the aspirations of the soul and the gross desires of the body, the salvific inner assent of conviction and the bodily suffering of the human.

Kevin Perry, A New Day Dawns - The Morning Show Celebrates Gender Equality on Screen and Behind the Scenes, Producers Guild of America (March 5, 2020) (quoting executive producer Michael Ellenberg on fellow executive producers Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon)When I read “producorial” to myself, it “sounded” awkward, artke because of the “c” (sift, as in “produce,” or hard, as in “production”?), but I figured:
director:directorial::producer:producorial
And if it’s on the website of the Producers Guild of America, it’s probably what they say in the industry, so there you go.
