And what of poetry?  To quote the Pirate King: And what, we ask, is life without a little poetry in it?

You did.  But I went the whole 324 inches.

But this is not  a scientific paper nor an office document; it is an expressive passage in a narrative.  Nor do I consider this 'creative punctuation',  it is accurate punctuation, representing the cadences of a particular vocalization.  That choice of vocalization for the narrative might well have been creative, but the punctuation is its literal depiction.

Or this explanation of why 18 percent isn't 18 percent: http://datechguyblog.com/2015/10/27/bac … asy-money/

I just made some minor edits to Sleeping with Wolves.  They don't address anybody's comments but mine, so I won't do a repub unless someone wants me to.

Mwaah-haah-haaaah-hah!

As far as I'm concerned, the root form of 'twitter' is 'twit'.

Reminds me of back in the 70's or 80's when a lot of young people went around in blue jeans labelled to indicate that they had an ache in their jord.  I never did find out where the jord is, and I doubt anyone remembers jord-ache jeans anymore.  Maybe they treat it with ibuprofen now.

'Axes', plural of 'axis'.

Your point about scenes is well-taken.

The difficulties I see have to do with flow of topic, question and answer, axes arising between people and groups, tension, the dynamics of coming to a decision ... all the things that get hard when you actually try to depict them.
