The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Deset Gled]

So, if one wanted to try to organically shift a thread about psionics in sci-fi to be about grammar, and then specifically about the importance of correct comma placement, without letting the thread creator (who runs the site) figure out what you did and boot you, how would you do it?

Start by talking about food.

Like, pizza food?

Depends. I don't consider some of the pizza discussed in this thread to be food.

It says right there on the label, "cheese food product"...

Exactly. It doesn't become food until it's deep-fried!

I find your terms acceptable.

I, call, it, the, Shatner, Comma. You, put, a, comma, after, every, word, in, every, sentence, no, exceptions.

I think that might be the Walken Comma. The Shatner Comma is used more sparingly.

"I, call it the, Shatner, Comma." for example.

Beam down the new red shirts, @Snarf Zagyg and @CleverNickName .

(Double checks how the commas were in the orders from Star Fleet, and think through what was learned at the Academy about how to read them).

I've just about had it with all the silly "debating" going on in some of the other threads about all kinds of ludicrous things from people who obviously haven't googled, let alone actually lived and experienced themselves.

And I don't want it to spread to this magnificent thread too.

So, some real talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand -- There are numerous small towns and cities in Illinois and neighborhoods in Chicago, that each have better pizza -from among the three true varieties: stuffed, deep dish, and tavern style - than all of the floppy greased cardboard joints in NYC and strange topping extravaganzas in NZ combined.

It's ok if that makes you angry. There is no rule against you being wrong. (And if you google it, who the hell is going to listen to something called "Food & Wine Magazine" for evidence. Wine with Pizza!?!?! WTF.).

Oh, and fried stuff. Funnel Cake is infinitely better than Elephant Ears. The goal is fried surface area, not some strange obsession with holding toppings. 3D Fractals can have infinite surface area. Those strange flat frisbee shaped things don't optimize anything.

Thank you for coming to my EN talk.

Silly? SILLY?! Hey. D&D is serious business.
