On The Man Can't Bust Your Fake Smokes

Yes, it's not quite the same as smoking. Instead of getting nicotine plus carcinogens, I just get nicotine. Instead of getting tobacco flavor that I don't much like, I get flavors I do like. Instead of smelling like an ashtray pretty much all the time, I smell pretty good (in both senses of the word). And instead of either making my house smell like an ashtray or going outside in freezing weather to smoke, I stay inside, vape away, get a nice nic buzz and the house either doesn't smell at all or it smells good.

Plus, I spend about the same on vaping supplies for a couple months as I used to spend on 1 week of cigs.

On A Note Regarding Michael Schudson and Journalism Schools

I did (J-school), and I can confirm that PBRthur is correct, and that compounds with adverbs don't get hyphenated.

The question is, how much is that knowledge worth these days? As much as knowing how to use Photoshop (which I taught myself because I needed it to make graphics for the newspaper website I built with raw HTML, which I also taught myself)?

I'm unemployed right now (laid off a year ago), and I'm getting a lot more interviews from people interested in my Web skills than my editing expertise.
