I googled what that stood for. *cough..."

Ouch. Now that's just harsh.

Not necessarily. Say if someone had a grocery list of things.

Ex: I need to get eggs, bacon, tomatoes, human eyeballs, pig omelets, monkey brains, spider ..."

Naw man. You'd just take out the and. Then the fancy-shmancy comma becomes a normal one and everybody is happy. Although it does have a ring to it. Oxford comma. Very catchy name.

So basically the Oxford comma and I are liek BFFs.

[Acacia]

How could you NOT use the Oxford comma? I mean... seriously. Gah. I just... why?

For example:

Writers who don't use the oxford comma are annoying, confusing, and wrong.

You pause between the 'confusing' and the 'and' if you read it out loud, so you put a comma. This does not seem that difficult to me.

[Baxter, butts butts butts]

It's because 'and' does the same thing as a comma, it separates. There is NO need for that little blot on the paper to be there.

If you are writing a speech, sure, go ahead, help yourself by indicating a slight pause, but most written stuff isn't made with the intention of being read out loud, so again, said pause is USELESS.

Still...I REALLY like how oxford comma sounds.

No, the middle word needs to be hugged by commas on both ends. Also, it needs to be separated from "and," because and is a jerk and would kick the middle word's ass if given the chance.

Vampire Weekend agrees with Baxter.

But I don't agree.

But I agree with Vampire Weekend.

[Isaac]

Random thought, but does the "Robocalypse" ad bother anybody else?

[Acacia]

Oh my god, yes.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

OH MAH GAWD YOU GUYS, ROBOCALYPSE IS MY FAVE BOOK EVAH.
Yeah. It looks pretty ... uh ... bad.

[tesni]

I like Oxford commas. Why Oxford commas though...? Why not, say, Cambridge commas, or something like that? O.o

Has to do with the college or something like that.

YES! For two reasons:

1. The name is absolutely ridiculous.
2. The cover is absolutely ridiculous.

Ha. I don't see the ad anymore. So I forgot what it looked like.

[Baxter, butts butts butts]

I have never even heard of this Robocalypse. But it sounds like a grand old time.

YES YES YES. It's weird. ROBOPOCALYPSE!!!!!111one

[Elliott]

The Teen Wolf ad bothered me more.

I don't think I've ever seen that one ...

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

But guys, come on. The robot apocalypse is pretty legit.

[Elliott]

I'm not opposed to the theory that the end of the world could come via robot. *shrugs*

[tesni]

Seriously though. The triffids will have us all in the end.

[Picture]

Oooh....we should debate on how we think the world will end.

[Baxter, butts butts butts]

I have been silently preparing for zombies for about 12 years now, so it BETTER end because of that.

I also hate the face. :\

There'll be a big meteor shower or solar flare or something that will blind everyone except Eddie Izzard and people who are, uh, already blind. That's when the triffids, who have been hiding like ninjas among other various articles of greenery will emerge and chase after us in their masses and eat us because we can't see them to run away.

[Picture]

All of your guys' ideas sound super cool.

But I was thinking more along the lines of...

A rapid spread of a virus kills only the younger population of the world population. No children. No humanity.

At first when I read that, I thought you said "praying" instead of "preparing." Lol. So I was like, "What religion do you believe in?" XD

The only flaw in that apocalypse is that the surviving adults could, you know, just reproduce again :P

Yeah, but those infants will die too. This virus consumes them once they are out of the womb.

I should have been more specific with "younger population." By younger population, I mean infants.

Oh, this virus is not just a one time thing either.

Interesting.

[Baxter, butts butts butts]

Sounds like Children of Men to me.

OH! I know what movie your talking about!

Oh my goodness, I forgot the title. :P

I'll go look it up.

[Isaac]

I found one called "2019, After the Fall of New York", but I don't think that's the right one.

I totally would.

[Isaac]

FUN FACT:

Jedism is a real religion.

[tesni]

I KNOW. MY FRIEND'S FAMILY ARE ALL JEDIS, OR SO THEY PUT ON THE LAST CENSUS. Epic win.

[Isaac]

THAT IS SO FREAKIN' AWESOME!

[tesni]

I KNOW! But, alas, methinks they only put it on the census because they could, because I haven't seen them exhibit many jedi-ist traits.
