New Madrid fault line "shockingly" quite after Haiti earthquake
Shortly after the 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti, the New Madrid fault line/seismic zone, located in the middle part of the United States, became eerily quite.

This fault line has been quite active for a very long time, and has been responsible for some of the largest earthquakes ever to be recorded in the world. It has averaged tens of earthquakes per day, most too small to feel, for at least several hundred years.

But shortly after the recent earthquake that hit Haiti, it became extremely quite, causing some concern among locals

Maybe I don't know 'earthquake speak', but what does "shockingly quite" mean?  Is it supposed to read: "shockingly quiet"?

That's why they call it a spell checker instead of context checker
My son got a 27 on his ACT. No this score is not as high as what Jeff's son achieved. But one has to remember the paternal gene-pool my son has to overcome. On a PGPAB [Paternal Gene-Pool Adjusted Basis], my son's score is a 37 and Jeff's son's PGPAB ACT score is 19.
