Here. Have some fucking apostrophes: ‘’‘’‘’“”“'”“”‘’‘’

There ought to be enough there to keep you entertained for a while. I don’t owe you any more. If you need more of them go ask someone else.

Also, here are the commas I forgot to put down this week:. , take them all for fucks sake.

“A pickle for the knowing one” was a book written completely without punctuation. When people bitched about it. He printed a second edition that that last few ages were nothing but punctuation with the instructions to put them where you want them.

The only rule on punctuation that I ever learned in English was:

If in doubt - leave it out

Anyway, I fully acknowledge that my cellphone autocorrected my first comment wrongly and that “its” should have had an apostrophe. I’m just not going to edit it, because it makes no sense in any other way, so no one should be able to misunderstand the sentence and the grammar nazi added nothing of value.

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
