Programming (n): Telling your computer to do something and then spending the next two days figuring out why it didn't work.
I am a thinker: an architect of mind.
I'm Logan. I am the president (and currently sole employee) of The Little Software Company. I'm currently developing OrangeNote, a WPF-based note and clipboard manager when I'm not making lattes at our local co-operative cafe, The Sleepless Goat.
Glad to have my old account back. :)

Is there a generic word in English that means “through time”? I like that one. ;) |

Is there a generic word in English that means “through time”? It's been a while since I asked this, but this is very good. There's a definite implication of transience (i.e. the subject eventually ending) but "locked durationally" vs. "locked temporally" is a good distinction of concepts! |

What are the pieces used to fill in a template called? Placeholders is probably the closest to what I'm looking for. Variables is too generic since I'm using this in a computer program, but otherwise would work well. |

Capital letter after ellipsis While I think you are mostly right, I would add that there is an element of writer intent. Therefore in the OP's example, 'now' could be capitalized, not must be. It depends on if the writer is aiming more for "Ok, now I want..." or "Ok. Now I want...". |

Is it “damping” or “dampening” when referring to sound? While the two uses may have stemmed from the same word, they've come to be used to mean quite different things, so it makes sense to split them into two related but slightly different words, to distinguish the two uses, imo. |

Is it “damping” or “dampening” when referring to sound? I agree that I would use "dampen" when referring to making something wet, but I also feel using the term "damp" for this meaning would offer some distinction between the two, as Liz writes. |

“We're not” vs. “we aren't” Interesting counter-example to the "it comes first" theory, Colin. |
