Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Because books.
And oh, we have had four editors (including me) proofing the document and having ongoing arguments in the margins about whether we're using serial commas or not.
But...of course you must use serial commas.
The serial comma doesn't get enough love.

If I end up freelance editing this thing, it'll get serial commas.

ION, I just got my December issue of Romantic Times Book Club. In October. Within a week of getting the November issues of the other magazines I read. Is it just me or is this a little ridiculous? It's basically reviews of books that hit the shelves in December, so it's not too soon to preorder or make library purchase requests, but if I read it now, there's no way I'm going to still remember that any particular book sounded intriguing 6 weeks from now when I might actually see them in the local B&N.

Serial commas suck. They're for fuddy duddys and maiden aunts and licorice eaters and people who have hard candy in cut glass bowls that melts together into one lump and collects dust.

Well, I'm two of those.
I should clean out the candy dish, yes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I just figure they're for Americans.
