I'm an electrical engineering student with a computer science minor at the City College of New York. I do programming work for the Metropolitan Transit Authority, and do a fair amount of hobby-coding for web sites and computer game modifications.

comment What's that word meaning 'thus more strongly for X'?
@IainElder I did learn Latin and I'd never think to say this.

comment Sincerely [comma?] name
Worth noting that if read aloud, the comma should also be audible as a pause between the farewell and the name. As a native English speaker, if you didn't emphasize the pause I'd hear "Best of luck, Frank" as wishing best of luck to Frank, rather than Frank himself wishing best of luck to whomever he's writing. Which is kind of odd, now that I think about it, since both statements use a comma when written.

comment What is the opposite of “skyrocket”?
+1 for being the closest to the flying metaphor used by skyrocket.

comment A word that describes a process that can be both good and bad
Ambivalent by its correct definition is perfect. Unfortunately, far too many English speakers (including native speakers) think it merely means "undecided" or "not caring one way or the other."

"Twofold" means a doubling, not one way and another.
