I think you'll find that "quick" is an adjective and "quickly" is an adverb. The latter would seem the suitable form to to modify "make their point".

Word to the wise: Haste makes waste.

How is "your" an abbreviated form of "you're"? Clarity and literacy are important elements in the effective use of rhetoric.

I'm sure that's reassuring for the people who live in the remaining 30%.

To "yours" add:

To effect
Hipocracy
Facism
Cematary

Geez, I've always heard Detroit was the most dangerous city in America! No, I guess it's Wilmington.

As usual, it would be important to distinguish between the tiny area enclosed by the city limits of the City of Wilmington on the one hand, and the far larger residential and commercial areas immediately bordering the incorporated City, contiguous with it, and far surpassing it in geographical area and population.

it is by actual numbers but if you were to go to detroit you would probably think Detroit is more crazier.

for example , Wilmington doesn't have headlines of 32 people being killed in a matter of 15 days.

also detroit is pretty stable in being violent.

like i said previously, any small drop in murders in Wilmington can change the stats largely.

This is based on hundreds of shootings, assaults, and robberies in a very small geographical area.

Everything is relative. This article is incorrect, anyway. Wilmington is really number 8. It's all on Wikipedia which relays the FBI stats.

Wilmington has a way higher violent crime and murder rate than any city in Europe.

The last thing we wan't to do in DE is be comparing Wilmington to the 3rd world.
