       Wasn't sure if I should change an instance of "a while" to "awhile." Merriam-Webster didn't help, neither did Chicago Manual of Style. Then I was all, "Duh! Check Grammar Girl" a.k.a.  @grammargirl and there was the answer I needed. #AmEditing

       @Opie_Dokie @grammargirl I'm sure that every language has it's weird/unusual rules and exceptions to rules, but English sometimes seems to have more than its fair share.
