Actual quote froma call today: "history of being in a comma."
Ok, sure, it's just a type-o....but that launched me into a long tangent of what it must be like to live in a comma. Versus what it would be like to live in a period, or a semicolor, or a parenthetical phrase (that would be my life) or even an ellipse. I suspect that being in an ellipse is a fairly accurate description of severe depression. I've been there, AIWASNOTFG.
Baby, I'm living in a period right now and I can tell you it's mostly HULK SMASH followed by bursting into tears. With random chocolate.
(Sorry, sorry, had to be said.)
How it might feel to live in a Full Stop, otoh, I can barely imagine. Like being a vampire, perhaps? Dead, but not really?
Living in an exclamation point is just exhausting.
Ginger, I'm sorry all this crap is landing on your head, all at once. You're handling it better than I would, fer sure.
Conversely, some of my authors spell comma as "coma". As in, "Shouldn't these words be in a coma?"
To them I would respond, "No, but were you when you wrote this?"
A misplaced coma is nobody's friend.
I know I had one right here, somewhere...
