Thanks for the welcome back, everyone!
Every day is inebriation day!
That's how we roll on this ship. It mostly just leads to lots of mornings where we all shuffle around swearing we hate all our friends who gave us all the wine and then we recover and do it all again.
Folks,
have you seen this video of Pomeranian puppies? It is an oldy but goody, but damn. What cuties.
May your mom's recovery continue to be uneventful, Scrappy!
Scrappy,
I endorse sarameg's statement! Fingers crossed.
Grammarians ahoy! Punctuation question--comma or rewrite (no comma doesn't seem workable, obvs):
Every generation has a defining event, usually the event with the most news coverage.
Raq, booyah! Here's to web domination!
Scrappy, SO happy. And that's an awful clumsy rhyme. I apologise for that.
I will also post in tech, but I need some assistance in trying to figure out why mine craft will not run on our old laptop. See how I wrote old there? I think it might not meet the min requirements, but I am not even sure how to check he requirements it says I need. help.
Every generation has a defining event, usually the event with the most news coverage.
Every generation has a defining event: usually, the event with the most news coverage.
(A subtle difference, but crucial, I feel.)
Or you could get parenthetical about it:
Every generation has a defining event (usually the event with the most news coverage).
You do feel the original comma is either wrong or clunky, Steph?
Informally, I would use a double -- or an em-dash.
