Speaking of grammar and punctuation…
“Good grammar is a sign of an orderly and logical mind that can analyze and discern fact from fiction and think critically.”
— Ken Adachi
“Punctuation marks are the traffic signals of language: they tell us to slow down, notice this, take a detour, and stop.”
— Lynne Truss
“Let grammar, punctuation, and spelling into your life! Even the most energetic and wonderful mess has to be turned into sentences.”
— Terry Pratchett
“The reason it’s worth standing up for punctuation is not that it’s an arbitrary system of notation known only to an over-sensitive elite who have attacks of the vapours when they see it misapplied. The reason to stand up for punctuation is that without it there is no reliable way of communicating meaning.”
— Lynne Truss
“Wiping your ass on a hoola-hoop.” I’m stuck on whether that would be on the vertical, or the horizontal. Now that the optics of what that would look like have become clear, the old blue one we have hanging on the wall in the garage will never be the same. Okay. Back to the broadcast. Amazing how I can laugh, cry, and rage all at the same time when I listen to Henry’s break-down on what’s going on with the daily alternate mainstream propaganda.
