Sorry everyone!

The provost called me the comma slasher. I was using commas like quarter rests in music notation. Feel free, to correct me, if I relapse :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Personally, I don’t see any problem, really, at all. But, that is, of course, just me.

I have always told my students that if I have to raise my voice, that is not a warning just a courtesy shown before your dramatic evisceration.

I know that this is a poisoned chalice but I may try to convince Americans that emphasis comes from structure, punctuation, and syntax. But, while the ā€˜not joke’ continues to exists - all is doomed when flagging sarcasm is needed to show that a humorous point was made.

And i apoligize in advance if I am jumping the 6 shooter.
But if I am right, I make fun of myself enough daily!
It isn’t necessary. I know all about my stupidity.

Not at all, we are laughing at @D.Sims @SessionDrummer and @SquirrelSmash conversations regarding the weirdness of how a written story is visualized with the ā€œcapitalisation virusā€.
You are a very strong woman and I am so proud of you for kicking that arrogant man to the trash bin!

We’d never conscience attacking someone due to their misfortune, well except if they are French or German. Some of us just went down a rabbit hole of silliness while expressing our care and concern for you.

We are a silly bunch:

Absolutely not @ladycrooks. @SquirrelSmash doesn’t AGREE How SD and I write in a forum setting, so that’s all it was. I hope you’re all good now. Enjoy this Beautiful Friday!!

Don’t worry. I have virtually no hair left to pull out. And, luckily for most of humanity, I confine any annoyance to satire and stilettos.
