Years ago I submitted a resume to an HR dept. It was plain text, with a .txt extension. They said "we only accept Word files for resumes." So I changed the .txt extension to .doc and resubmitted it. I got the job.

The buildings are of remarkably uniform height. My guess is either limitation of building material at the time of greatest construction, or zoning ("cannot be higher than the church"). Even the modern buildings are mostly low.

Oh ... Sorry, but I was absolutely not critiquing your sentence. I specifically was not objecting to your use of parenthesized numbering. I was trying to jump off from your solution to reducing parentheses, to say how I handle the same pr

Thank you for putting the time and thought into this. If you don't have a blog, you should give it a try. I like the idea of an ereader, but they aren't ready for me yet. That's just me. I encourage everyone but me to get an ereader, so you

I confess, I don't get it. Was this just clever ad spam? I did the same searches at the linked site and directly at google, and got essentially the same results. I searched for: "affiliate links" unicorn At least I learned about the 'or' sy

I guess for those who can get health care, I'd agree with you. For those who have no insurance (which is often the same thing as no access, at least to expensive care) and/or pre-existing conditions, I guess they have either zero care or in

If you search for the article title on Google and then click in from there, you can read the referenced article. However, if you (I) do the same search at Yahoo or Bing and then click through, you only get the two paragraph teaser. Irony up
