Roger that, Al. I ate one and it I felt the arteries closing tighter with every bite. -
But they're so good Russ. Eat two, and they cancel each other out. Win-win!!
When you trekkin' through Central PA? I'll be sure to turn the lights off and close the blinds.
Nah, you're welcome any time Russ... I have no bushes to kill. -
I am a big fan of the Oxford comma, and used to use it habitually, but I've sort of weaned myself off of it.
No particular reason... but it's a tad ironic, actually, given that (ahem) our daughter is an Oxford graduate.
(cough-cough, harumpf, ahem, and all that rot, what?)

I didn't know the "Oxford Comma" was a thing. I always use it. It's the way I was taught. I never use it before an ampersand though.Home Theater/2 Channel:

This a remarkably scholarly exchange, given the thread title.
Just thought I'd mention that. -

It just kind of feels... right... doesn't it? -
Indeed! Next thing you know we'll be devolved into cavemen communicating with picture and symbols! The Queens English abbreviated into three or four letters and the flagrant disregard for proper punctuation and sentence structure.

More hungry, really.
You can't start a sentence with the word "and".afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

for the record: I like to go all ee cummings when it comes to capitalization.
I think it's a reaction to the many years of German I studied in high school & college.

The italics thing on this forum is interesting.
The tags work, just not in Chrome (?!)
If one swallows one's pride, compromises one's integrity, grits one's teeth, and logs into the Polk forums via MS Edge -- the italics are there, Bob's your uncle.
Chrome? Not so much.
Fortunately, I am not a conspiracy theorist
(and please note that I have carefully incorporated the Oxford comma above, apropos of the tenor of this thread) -
Generally speaking, the same people who don't use the Oxford comma are the same lazy, heathen, and anarchistic slobs who don't put two spaces behind the period after composing a sentence.
I mean "lazy, heathen, and anarchistic slobs" in a positive way, so no offense is intended.
