Noumenon, talking about a non-spoilery discusssion in Angel:
You might want to skip from Perkins "Angel 2: No Time for Losers" Feb 16, 2003 3:10:43 pm EST where Perkins innocently asked if it was correct to say "Wes's lizard brain" or "Wes' lizard brain," on through a discussion of "Zed" vs "Zee" in the alphabet song, a discussion of ellipses and good grammar, through the final post about em and en dashes at Rebecca Lizard "Angel 2: No Time for Losers" Feb 17, 2003 1:20:46 am EST, about three hundred posts later. And the really amazing thing is that we never got sidetracked onto the puns of punctuation, in all that extended period. I think the abstruse points of style put our brains into a comma.
From Bitches:
Hecubus:
Still grumpy about the off hours coup that brought on this thread title. (Sorry, Connie)
connie neil:
But--but--something needed to be DONE! Deadlines approached, the constituency drifted in a state of "I dunno, what do you want? I dunno." It was a time for someone to stand up, take a stand, and say "This! This is what we shall do! Who's with me?" And I was that Bitch. I regret there is but one thread I can name for my Buffistas.

Nou's Borg jokes in Natter:
Ah'm Bubba o' Boahg. Y'all fixin' t' be assim'lated.
Ginsu of Borg: You will be assimilated - but WAIT! There's MORE!
#1 Hit on the Borg Top 40: We all sleep in a single subroutine.
Madrigal in Angel:
Zed's not science. Science is saying "crooshable" instead of "croo-sibble" unless referring to the play.
and later, a bit spoilerly:
Eh, we're a grammatically obsessed people. We'd consider blotting out the sun to the lesser evil if BRDS's spell misused colons and semicolons.
In Natter:
Zoe Finch: Isn't it neat how blue tits can stand on verticle walls!
CaBil: Is your dada strong today, or are you talking about birds?
Jess PMoon in Natter:
If vw has lost her brunch credibility, what hope is there for the rest of us?
