Yup. And it's phenomenon. Don't think you need the hyphen in 'today',
either.;-)

Skitt says "You want quotes around 'phenomenon' in that sentence,
as you had with 'today'.".

This could go on forever, couldn't it? :-)

WTF was "Skitt" anyway?

Yes. I vote we put a stop to it, before it gets too silly. I'm sorry I
mentioned it in the first place :-)

There is somebody called 'Skitt' active on Usenet (or at least there was
recently). It probably started in alt.usage.english, but how it managed
to gain the status of a 'law' is anyone's guess. It just struck me as
amusing when I came across it.
