- stouset 7mo agoIt’s a nitpick but the words you are looking for are “dam”, “dammed”, and “damming”. Damning is a very different thing entirely.
- CalRobert 7mo agoThey both work, really
- Baeocystin 7mo agoNot really inaccurate in this case, though. It's a huge loss.
- jsLavaGoat 7mo agoThank you for that grace, it was totally just a typo. And when I re-read it I was embarrassed, but your putting it this way gave me a chuckle.
- renewiltord 7mo agoYeah but the Sierra Club enthusiastically believes that infill housing is evil because a shadow falls on a corner of a park used by underserved minorities. So one must assume that the environment is not anywhere near the top priority for them.
