Corona - what does help you? Your fears, thoughts, everything

Americans themselves often don't realize that canceled has only one L. Or that " should go outside of , and . That'as in the sentence below.

Ennis said he worried about "people on the pavement."

Logically, it doesn't make sense, but that's the American way! 

You mean people drop the "t"? Is that just dialog reproducing the way people speak, rather than how they spell it?

No, I mean Americans put the quotation marks outside the period (or comma). I highlighted the t as well to make it more visible. Anyway, Brits would say "the quotation mark should go inside the period".

They also just use a single mark, 'if I remember correctly'.

Oh, I think I remember that, too. That also is more logical -- quoting a quote within a quote with two marks.

Plus it takes up less space. Newspapers use ' in headlines for things that would be " in the story itself.

Had my second shot yesterday. I went with the Biontech (Pfizer) vaccine, even though my first shot was AstraZeneca.

So far only a sore arm. I hope it stays like that.

Great news, Chrissi!

I felt such a relief after my second shot, you probably do too.

Congrats on your second vaccination, Chrissi!

I have friends who've driven 65 to 150 miles one say to get a shot. A colleague at work sent me a 10-step list of how to arrange it, starting with following a particular Twitter account, and when it says do X, go somewhere else and do Y, which then lets you do Z ... I skipped those steps and just called my clinic 24 times.

Now there's a short line of people waiting to get theirs at my neighborhood drugstore. A brewery in town is offering a free beer to anyone who goes there and gets a shot.

About 50% of people in the state have had both shots. Nationwide, it's 32%. As you probably know, about 80% is considered herd immunity.

Artisanal beer?

The article I saw neglected to specify, but I believe any beer from a small local brewery is artisanal by definition.

If they brew more than one kind, does somebody curate it?
