pasdetrois October 15, 2022 Share October 15, 2022 As a writer, especially in newsrooms, I regularly listened to debates about commas, colons and semi-colons. Also placement of these inside or outside of parentheses. The Brits do it differently than Americans, I believe. And then there are all of the style guides. 3 2 4 Link to comment
Popular Post glowbug October 15, 2022 Popular Post Share October 15, 2022 I’m a huge advocate of the Oxford comma. I was taught in high school that it was completely optional, and despite the fact that most people didn’t use it, I stubbornly insisted on using it. It’s not useless. In many instances the use or disuse changes the meaning of the sentence. There was that case a few years back where some truckers in Maine won a lawsuit against some companies because the lawmakers did not use an Oxford comma when drafting a law about overtime. It was great. I felt so vindicated. 1 9 2 7 10 Link to comment

So because we know how much Kyle loves her daughters and being a mom, we're supposed to not believe our eyes that she found Erika cursing Jax to be hilarious? I can see Dorit being shocked in the moment and not knowing what to say. As an anxious person, when I'm really floored, I can sometimes be speechless. I do wish she took up for Jax and Garcelle at some point instead of mocking Garcelle discussing Erika's behavior. Crystal imo showed class and sensitivity by getting Jax the heck out of there and telling him not to listen to these ladies. This is what frustrates me. The "ladies" didn't respect Denise's kids either, but for the most part, the kids are left alone by the cast. Jax is the first child to be told to get the fuck out of an event. Almost all of the cast either defended Erika, dismissed her behavior, thought it was great that she let loose. And then when the threats happen, there were still a lot of false equivalencies, bringing up the whole cast and their kids get threats. First of all, if anyone else's threats were that vicious and nonstop, I must have missed it. The stuff I saw sent to Portia was by no means kind, but nothing like "You'd have your neck kneeled on if it weren't for your white daddy." Even if the threats the rest of the cast/their kids have gotten are more mild, of course I still don't condone anyone being threatened in any way shape or form, but it's different going after grown women who sign up for the show. It's also differing going after their ADULT kids. Jax just got out of middle school FFS. Erika's son is almost as old as me and LAPD. Give me a break. And then we have Diana lecturing Garcelle about not thinking about her when her child is being viciously attacked. And she has the nerve to weaponize the tragic death of her brother to do so. I'm sure the top thing on Garcelle's mind is if these threats are for real, if Jax is safe, and how frightened the poor kid must be. Diana is always bragging about how she's oh so tough, can handle anything because she's a refugee from Bosnia, and that she has so much money she has people wipe her ass for her. Okay miss tough rich as fuck chick, your ass should be fine. If you were truly that scared, you have more than enough money for 24/7 security if you don"t already have it. You brag about how rich you are all the time. And Kyle, you were bad enough downplaying Erika's behavior and joyfully telling the story of Erika cursing Jax, you have some nerve saying to Garcelle, all Diana wanted was for you to pencil out her name. We don't care if you're mother of the year when it comes to your own kids. You don't get an automatic pass for not giving a fuck about Jax until backlash for laughing at the story.
