I am totally unclear about serial comma etiquette. Which is better?
I got all excited that we might have another To The Pain conversations about serial commas and then nothing. Clearly questions like this should be asked on weekdays. Hiding them on a Saturday means no fluffling.
God, maths homework was my favourite.
I like math. Even still. Though helping the Nephlet through his over the phone is both a challenge for math skills I haven't had a reason to explain for decades and for the fact that he's occasionally trying to be Jilli and just not do his homework. Grrr. But I still like math.
I'm not sure Coolio was all that heroic. Though Gangsta's Paradise does have superhuman powers of earworm.
So true. And HA!
I just hated doing homework. Didn't really matter what subject it was.
I ALWAYS hear "Gangster's Paradise" as "Amish Paradise."
And it sets me to giggling.
I just watched Mississippi Masala. How have I not seen this movie before? It's fabulous.
Kara is Jilli, sj, and Hil! She hates all homework, but especially copying things and math.
Kara is the younger version of me
This comforts me all the time. I would be honored to have a daughter who grew up to be Jilli. She loves Jilli pictures. I thought wwjpd (what would Jilli's parents do), and got her a sewing machine for Christmas so she could learn to sew for herself and her dolls.
Erin, Greg suggests Black Panther:
Black Panther has royal parentage, was selected by the Panther God; married to Storm, who was then also selected by the Panther God.
He's a comic/superhero geek too, and would be glad to try to think of others if you would like him to.
I have been convinced since I first met Kara in person that she is going to be quite an amazing adult some day, but then look at her awesome parents.
sj, you are such a sweetheart.
Oh, did you finally get your wedding present?
I was going to address the serial comma but then others gave the opinion I would have voiced so I said nothing.
I was raised without serial commas so when I'm typing I tend to avoid them but I have to admit they seem to enhance comprehension.

This is me. I learned my commas back in the '60s and '70s, was the fashion different then? And I learned to spell judgement with the e in the middle. Perhaps the Pennsylvania School System had Loyalist leanings.
God, maths homework was my favourite. What's with you people?
Maybe maths homework is more fun? Math sucks.
