Boundary Issues

I could go for adult nap time.

Okay, grammarians with a penchant for the Oxford comma, this one’s for you. I still can’t stop laughing.

@¡Andrew!: This also illustrates it nicely.

@mellbell: Ha!

@¡Andrew!: @mellbell: Honestly, I don’t understand why there’s a controversy when the Oxford comma is so clearly essential.

@ManchuCandidate: A coloring book sounds pretty soothing, honestly.

@¡Andrew!: @mellbell: I have never used the comma in this way in my entire life. After seeing the illustrations, I went to my trusty olde grammar book (English Grammar and Composition, Harcourt Brace 1963) and all of their examples show to use it this way. I feel that missed that lesson somehow.

Wow, I did not see a CONservative landslide coming in the UK elections (and neither did anyone else). Even though their accents make them sound like they gots the smarts, the English are just as stupid as US!

@SanFranLefty: Right? I kinda want to order this along with a 64-count box of Crayolas.

@Mistress Cynica: The tragedy of Crayolas was that they didn’t stay sharp for long, especially if your younger sibling(s) messed with them.

@Dodgerblue: The box of 64 had a sharpener in the side–one of my favorite features.
