@ChrisWilson @quad every time you do that, a kitten cries. ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

@frankramblings @quad

No matter what I do to it, a cat will always hate me. When I die it will try to eat me, and if it were big enough it would hunt me for sport.

@ChrisWilson @quad well maybe they wouldn't if you used proper grammar. They can be very forgiving.

@frankramblings @quad

Nah....Cats are sociopaths. Cute, Cuddly sociopaths. I'm comforatble with that.

Now for the real question: how do Mastodonians feel about the Oxford Comma?

@frankramblings I think it's clear, elegant, and concise.

@frankramblings Oh, no! Starting a grammarian religious war already! This social network is too new... let's not tear apart its fabric too soon! ;-)

@frankramblings It is essential. Avoids confusion and it's classy as hell.

@john I'm going to let this go because you have two Beatles' names, and the Beatles are the coolest.

@frankramblings Yes they do, but their spell correctors sometimes mess that up. Has happened to me; embarrassing.

@jimfenton That's fair. I'm a stickler for grammar and spelling, and I know how annoying it can be to send something, only to realize there were errors in it.
