# So very, very tired.

# That's neat.
It made me grin.

Woo!

# is the oxford comma of doom
reffering to the debate as to whether there should be a comma after "and"?
(I helped save b3ta! Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Wed 3 Mar 2004, 13:24, archived)
# Yup.
There shouldn't, at least not most of the time.

# What about an apostrophe
in the word "orange's" on any market stall, anywhere?
(Crunchy Frog?, Wed 3 Mar 2004, 13:27, archived)
# NEVER!
That makes me angry. Apostrophes aren't hard to use, people who make signs like that are fools.
(I helped save b3ta! Comma, Wed 3 Mar 2004, 13:29, archived)
# Unless
it's to indicate that the orange does in fact posess something.

# Yes,
but I was jumping to the conclusion that everyone apart from me was stupid :)

# Here's another one
"handwritten" "signs" seem to make more and more incorrect use "of" inverted "commas". Anyone else notice this?
(Crunchy Frog?, Wed 3 Mar 2004, 13:34, archived)
# Yeah.
That's awful. I mean, inverted commas are not hard to use properly.
(I helped save b3ta! Comma, Wed 3 Mar 2004, 13:37, archived)
# all punctuation is easy to use properly.
But until the majority of people start caring about it, it won't happen.

The NetworkQ near us has big stickers in the window saying :Vectra's and Corsa's

Makes me scream every time I drive by.
