Ha! awesome. I had a friend from Utah who I worked with this past summer and we all made fun of him for using the phrase "just barely" as a way of saying something just happened recently, as opposed to the use I'm used to which is more that something was a close call and almost didn't happen, as in "I just barely made the train."
We weren't really sure if it was a regional thing, but I've never heard anyone else use the phrase like that until you did. Is that a normal thing among you and your friends? Or among the entire area you're from? My friend was from Salt Lake City, which as I think about it is really the only major place in Utah people seem to live.

Do a Google search for "reddit comment formatting." For more comprehensive guidance on reddit's markup language.
For now:
[bracket the text like this](http://then.paste.the/link-here_in&parentheses)You need the http/https identifier. Here is another example.
