Jan 23	revised	How many different words are in the average novel? Replaced tags, slightly edited content. I wanted to include "unique" as a description for word count, but I'm not sure that that is what he wants to know. Different but recurring once or more is probably what he is asking, so I left that alone.

Oct 7	comment	What is the new Google Author markup? @w3d is 100% correct. I have implemented what the question described, but needed to do everything mentioned by w3d. It works very well though.

Jun 6	comment	Why are license agreements, disclaiming letters and others written with capital letters? @codesparkle Legal conventions for capitalizing pre-dated computing by hundreds of years. Even in computing, all caps were common, rather, the ONLY option, until about 30 years ago. The inference of shouting when using all-cap's is even more recent.
Jun 6	comment	Should I use different pen names for different audiences (non-fiction)? By different names, do you mean different titles, or different author names? Writers often publish under a nom de plume when writing for very different audiences e.g. Anne Rice is an obvious example, but there are many others.
Feb 7	comment	Does this passage convey an appropriate mix of seriousness and levity? @SomeshMukherjee Are you clairvoyant? How did you know? I am laughing, that is wonderful! Professor Taleb is brilliant and articulate and amusing. But he goes on and on and... about things. It dilutes his content, reduces the impact, I think. He isn't the only one though. There are others, you can probably guess, there was a quant fin book published in Oct of last year, who do the same thing, but in a less entertaining manner. So cool that you knew who I was thinking of though!!!

Jan 7	comment	How to write a polite reminder email? Good answer, except I would remove "Have a nice day Sir." and "I remain at your disposal" (but keep the rest of the sentence, just rephrase for grammar). Also, include a greeting at the top. Otherwise, fine. +1
Dec 27	comment	Where can I find information about how to cite a web address using MLA? I up voted your answer. I also wrote out a long form version of an answer, using a different source. Since it was current MLA, it provided similar content to the excellent URL you provided.

Dec 19	revised	How deeply should I study the background of a community before writing about it? Changed question title with forward slashes (reminded me of DOS), moved into body of question, slightly altered wording for grammar.
