My husband is slowly falling in love with San Diego
I had no trouble understanding that passage, jhutt. It's clear from the context that the author is talking about academic classes, and I submit to you that there's no confusion that needs to be resolved with caps or anything else.— September 24, 2009 12:59 a.m.

Gringo has it right (#47). Names of course titles are capped (e.g., Art 101) but not names of subjects or areas of study (physics, sociology).— September 24, 2009 12:20 a.m.

(#41) Well, typing does require eye-hand coordination, true. But make no mistake, typing is a LEARNED SKILL. You get in a classroom, you're given specific exercises, and you do ENDLESS PRACTICE. After a semester or two, you start to get it, and you take more typing classes to get better. It's a life-changing skill.— September 23, 2009 11:55 p.m.

Maybe that's Josh Board's problem too (one-finger typing). Learn to type; it'll change your life. It's the single most important thing you should have learned in school.— September 23, 2009 11:45 p.m.

Pete, I think a stronger case can be made that the computer is a labor-saving device. (That's what I use it for, 'cause I'm a lazy mother****er.) The computer, it was once said, is a fast pencil.— September 23, 2009 11:34 p.m.
Gambling employees do better in San Diego than in Las Vegas
"The people who skim the money out of the casinos and secrete it in offshore tax havens...." Sounds painful.— September 23, 2009 5:16 p.m.

Response to: Kissing Cousins (errr, mothers) and Interracial Dating
You know, Josh, this whole discussion of interracial dating got me thinking about the old song "Brother Louie" by Stories (1973) or, for that matter, "Society's Child" by Janis Ian (1967). As a song, "Brother Louie" was no great shakes and wouldn't have hit #1 without the interracial-romance story line. Which made me think: Who would give a hoot in hell about that song today? Back then, interracial dating was rare, forbidden, and downright taboo ("danger, danger when you taste brown sugar"), but today it's commonplace; a prof of mine said that X percent of American college students (I think he said over 50 percent) have dated interracially. Good thing those guys put out that record when they did.— September 23, 2009 11:47 a.m.
Driving Pet Peeves
"How often do you see bumper stickers that 'add' to the look of the car?" Mine, for one. I discovered that one of those little blue-and-gold "equals" signs is PERFECT for covering a dent.— September 22, 2009 12:33 p.m.
Bypassing Bylaws in Golden Hill
"My identity is and been clear from the start.... Btw, my extended experience comes from decades of direct knowledge with central intelligence and national security...." Then presumably you realize that this is the internet and that it's not a certainty that your name is Joe Hunt.— September 20, 2009 9:39 p.m.
