Writing with proper grammar is one of the easiest ways to establish credibility. Correcting a few common errors and linking the proper usage to logic rather than obscure, bespectacled experts hiding in style guide castles will improve both your mood and your writing.
Stephen Gordon: a man with a dog and a boat that he rows in lakes. That’s really all it takes for us to like a guy, but Gordon has a story that obliges further explanation.
For a genre that’s been around about 100 years, jazz has an insanely dense catalog of great music ranging from big-band swing to fusion to bebop to dixieland. There’s no better way to learn than diving in — it’ll become quickly apparent what moves you.
The best fight is the one the that never happens, the one you walk away from because the assault to your pride, your team, your girlfriend — your whatever — isn’t worth ending your night early, the risk of injury (to you or the other guy) or jail. However, we recognize that sometimes walking away isn’t possible.
TrackingPoint’s XactSystem Precision Guided Firearm System — which comes standard with an Integrated Networked Tracking Scope, Guided Trigger, and Tag Button — turns any layman into a marksman at up to 3,600 feet, depending on model. Terrifying?

In the history of the Winter Games, the most spectacular, over-the-top event to take place was a one-off: the Winter Pentathlon at the 1948 Winter Games. There may never have been a more elitist combination of athletic feats grouped together at one time before that fateful winter, and there likely hasn’t been since.
