Never thought I’d agree with Trump on something.
Trump is a dumb slob who can’t read or write on his own.
The strippers, JFK, and Stalin agree with Trump on this one.
Great thanks I hate it. No more commas for me ever just to be sure.
Can we convince people to use the Oxford comma, if we spread that it’s anti-woke?
And, have, people, write, like, this,? No thanks
Bet you learned English in the American south
No, thanks
FTFY
*No, thanks.
Figures the Oxford comma opponent wouldn’t know how to use an Oxford comma.
NERRRRRRRD FIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!
runs away quickly, falls down
I think the implication might have been that stupid people will incorrectly use it overemphatically, not that he is against the comma itself, but i could be wrong
… you mean, convince people not to use it?
I think the implication is that people who are anti-woke are stupid so those are the ones you have to convince to use the Oxford comma since intelligent people already see the benefit.
Intelligent people avoid being redundant, though. The and/or is a substitute for the Oxford comma.
Nah, it can be fun to be needlessly redundant.
Tell that to the two strippers, JFK and Stalin.
I see you fell for the humorous disinformation, like many others.
Mate no one’s gonna believe you didn’t mean what you said. Next time just own up to it and move on.
Of course I meant it. The OC is redundant. People who use the JFK/Stalin anecdote are demonstrating a reliance upon memorization rather than logic as a basis of syntax.
There had to be something we’d have in common. Now that I know he’s an Oxford comma man, he’s got my vote!
Hes an ox, yes, but not nearly as useful
Just because he does, doesn’t mean you can’t, Kate.
Kate Christobek is not a fan of the Oxford comma
Bastard has me wanting to exclude the comma before the “and” in lists, now.
Just because the man is capable of one good decision in his life, doesn’t mean he should run the country. Just sayin’.
“A broken clock…”
I use it the Oxford comma the truly correct way.
Situationally.
I use it geographically.
You know what they say. When in Oxford…
Can you describe a situation where an Oxford comma would be detrimental to a sentence?
When it changes the meaning.
I went to dinner with two idiots, Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
Vs
I went to dinner with two idiots, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden.
If you intend for the reader to think you went to dinner with two people, treating the Oxford comma as mandatory is going to add ambiguity at best and change the meaning at worst.
Mostly in script. Specifically with adjectives.
“I found myself surrounded by giant trees, massive ferns and strange mushrooms.”
If this line were to be spoken aloud, the last two subjects would not have a pause between them. It’s a picky me thing, to be honest. I’m extremely obsessive about grammar.
It sounds wrong without the comma
What is Trump’s stance on gif/jif?
groan
Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know
Just Made A Great Pointuses the comma the way you think it should be usedHitler introduced better protection for animals. I’m not going to say I like him, but I’m with him on this one.
He also gave up his inheritance to his single mother sister. Overall his bad dominated his good and he deserved a humiliating death like Mussolini or Gaddafi, but there was some good there.
Though it’s interesting that Trump’s “good” is a grammar preference. Trump isn’t more bad than Hitler but he might be less good.
That last sentence… I haven’t thought about that, but you might be right.
My actual reaction. I’m still gonna use it, but blegh.
I mean at the end of the day, Who Gives a Fuck About an Oxford Comma?
I do find issue with your capitalization, with Trump I find fault with his capitalization. Slight difference
Vampire Weekend does! This is some deep nostalgia for me that you’ve just dug up.
I’ve seen those English dramas too
Me.
Honestly same. Let’s hope he thinks the Oxford Comma is a neat martini dusted in Vicodin.
me, myself, and I
thank God you didn’t confuse us by thinking you were referring to yourself twice at the same time separately instead of twice, twice.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Sometimes even a calculator can be a clock!
What time is it?
8008135
Real ones know it’s 5318008
It’s always 8008135 o’clock somewhere.
