Yesterday, I was able to make coffee without hardly thinking, no problems. Today, not so much.
But now I have coffee.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

lisah, if knowing what the Oxford comma is would get me a job at your company, I would apply. I'd probably answer that question with, "It has its place."

Eeep! That one catches me up nearly every time; I really have to think about it. What can I say, I'm drinking oolong instead of black tea--less caffeine.

My GOD, if that's who they give an interview to, who applied that they DIDNT decide to interview????
I KNOW, RIGHT?! We did interview someone who seemed pretty great so I'm encouraging the hiring manager to make him an offer ASAP.

Our wings are not tired.
So, I was interviewing someone for a tech writer position today and, when I asked his opinion of the Oxford comma, he responded "is that the comma with the dot over it?"
That just makes my day. No rage here, just laughter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would consider giving someone a pass on "Oxford comma" because maybe they know it as a different name, but THINKING IT MIGHT BE A SEMICOLON??? That's beyond the pale.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oxford?
What I like is that this guy may have found the one way to unite the pro- and anti-Oxford comma factions. Whether you are for it or against it, you can find common ground in deciding that he is an idiot.

Exactly!!! I did interview someone last week who didn't know the term but understood when I said "serial comma" and she had an opinion about it.

It would also concern me that he doesn't know what a semi-colon is? Weird.
