Oh--and I, too, object to the grammar in the title. Should be "Delta employees overheard" or "Overheard from Delta employes."

To OP, if you edit the title, please ensure you capitalize each word of the title, excepting articles, for any words with more than 5 letters or first and last words regardless of length.
Can't help myself, it's a sickness. And yes, I make many mistakes anyway. Mostly, because I like Tuaca.

Since I'm not authorized to use groan, I'll say gag instead. 😁

OT, but I never heard of the five letter rule and there aren't any articles with five or more letters. Instinctively I would certainly capitalize all nouns and action verbs and not capitalize small prepositions, etc.

Your rule would say The sun also Rises, while I would write Ths Sun Also Rises or maybe The Sun also Rises. Similarly, I'd write Of Mice and Men rather than Of mice and Men

Well, the non-lazy way I should have posted would have resulted in more swyping than I initially wanted to do...so, to be not lazy: capitalize the first word of the title, the last word of the title, and all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, subordinating conjunctions, and a few conjunctions. Prepositions are only capitalized f they are used adjectivally or adverbially.

But what do I know? Just a super long time luker who avoided the urge to post.

MSP, what side of the river if you're inclined to respond again? I've been curious for a while.

NW did not have a PDX base.
