I was going to send you a message RebelOne, but I don't have enough posts yet. Seems like you have good knowledge of punctuation. Do you by chance have any good sources for restaurant menu descriptions? Long story, but basically we have a disagreement about proper capitalization at work....and it is just a pet peeve of mine.
