Airehead Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share #26 Posted August 5, 2020 The Panda and the Oxford Comma PUBLISHED ON December 7, 2015 The Oxford Comma is the source of much drama among hyper-literary snobs, but it’s inappropriate– you’ll sound like you’re on opiates– if it’s not the right tool for your jobs. Take the innocent panda: nothing could be blanda than his vegetarian diet but if you over-commacize I’ll be the first to criticize– in fact, I’ll show you—let’s try it: If this black-and-white bear strolls out of his lair and walks into a café, then eats, shoots, and leaves, some folks will grieve at the lives that are lost that day. But if the same ursa in the preceding versa instead, just “eats shoots and leaves,” there’ll be no fired shots which improves things a lot and the panda will get a reprieve.

Then they were moved to the Maryland suburbs of Washington where they began a long history of sucking. Then they decided bullets were too violent so now they're the Wizards. They still suck.

It was supposed to say “after the picture was taken” because otherwise it would only have been a picture of spent shells. That was the joke and I fupped it duck.

Razors Edge ★ Posted August 6, 2020 Share #36 Posted August 6, 2020 14 hours ago, Airehead said: but if you over-commacize I'm confused by that poem. No one would put an Oxford comma (or ANY comma) between "eats shoots and leaves", unless they literally meant someone ate, then shot some folks, and then left (a la Goodfellows behavior). Also, other than the extra comma (in some folks eyes), would some people like the Goodfellows' exchange of "eats, shoots, and leaves" less than "eats, shoots and leaves"? I feel like the former is just that much nicer than the latter. Maybe I'm nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
