Small oops

Minor edit: This is part of a sentence from a press release -- ... take over the reigns as crew chief... That ought to be reins, not reigns.

Another edit: Here's part of a story found online -- ... whom Washington drafted in the sixth-round out of Penn State. You don't need the hyphen unless you say he was a sixth-round draft pick. Otherwise, sixth round will do.

Bothers me: Here's a sentence just found online -- It's unclear if compensation would be owed to the Pittsburgh Steelers should Cowher took a job with another team.

I'd change it this way:

It's unclear if compensation would be owed to the Pittsburgh Steelers if Cowher takes a job with another team.

More later.
