'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That's so ugly.

As are so many mustaches, tragically.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

HOW DID I NOT NOTICE YOU GUYS WRITE IT MUSTACHE?

Does the first syllable rhyme with "mouse"? or "mousse"? Or any other sound?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.

I'm copyediting a cozy British mystery right now and I have to retain British spelling (and not use a serial comma!), and it's driving me nuts. All those extra letters! My red pencil hand is all twitchy.

I think you mean a cosy British mystery, ma'am.

And yet I'm a devotee of the Oxford comma. I wish I had an iota of consistency, but I fear that ship has sailed.

Speak English!

Or American????

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If GHOTI is good enough for Bat Man, it's good enough for me.

She hasn't used the word coz/sy!

Ooh, look at that horror. That's the stuff of nightmares.

If ita wants to spell it moostache, I have no problem with that.
