Yep, thanks, all fixed ! Surprising how many mistakes one can make in a simple sentence...although, as feeble justification -- I wrote that right after I read the article and was still thinking about some of the stuff. There was a bit of irony though in these corrections -- how we tend to focus on and willing choose to spend energy on the things that don't matter in the long run for things that make us feel good about ourselves.
Not just the long run! It looks like 'dang' already rewrote it to get rid of all of those words. But at least I'll sleep easier knowing that as a team we were able to fix the mistakes before it was erased. :)
