Re: this, my feeling is that even if people didn't know they could pretty easily infer that it's a gun of some sort.

I think the description would read better if it was “shot three people dead” instead of the current phrasing of those words.

Hmm, interesting. "Shot dead three people", or "shot three people dead"...

To me, the former sounds more natural in this context. In a news report, I'd say "three people were shot dead", but in recounting a story, I'd definitely go with "shot dead three people".
None of these approaches feels wrong to me though.

Yeah, this is what I usually say when I mean, "I want to edit this issue, so you can submit it now so that I can snatch it before another editor does."

Okay, with an offer like that I can't refuse.

Submitted.

Damn, you snatched that to your folder within seconds!

Even though I'm not supposed to wish you luck, I'm going to do so anyway.

You're the one who told me to dump the fruit baskets

Yeah, that was the joke.

Nvm.

Oh. The part about ditchibg the fruit baskets was a joke. Okay then, fruit baskets for all...

I forget how literal minded you are sometimes.

Don't start the fruit baskets again.

That clear enough?

I didn't see this during drafting but looks good Candlewhisper! Can't wait for another issue of yours (especially one pertaining to kicking my weaponization up) to hit the shelves of active issues
