your commas here seems standard usage to me, though nowadays some of them would commonly be eliminated. I tend to favor the older, more comma rich, style--obviously. But then I, as opposed to many, also give a fuck about an Oxford comma:
Your frequent use of dashes and colons is unusual, but I like that, too. What I find amusing is that veganlush, commenting on you perceived overuse of commas, did not mention your complete lack of sentence-ending punctuation marks. I think that's due to your helpful use of white space to isolate the thoughts. Also, I can't help but to suspect that veganlush is a punctuation anarchist. This meta language ramble brought to you, most of whom probably don't give fuck about any of it, by a former English major who neither knows nor follows all of the language rules. As for the ideas you presented, I fear that you are correct.This loss did not release the baggers from the bubble. I think we need to work hard to stop others from being lured in. Our campaign must not end now--message, message, message. |
