| The names are spelled "Chekhov" and "Schrödinger." |
 |
| Is a vocative comma so hard to insert? "I did it, California!" |
 |
| "...whom I've been eying for five months." Vocative comma and dash: "Okay, Kamala—we're still not voting for you." |
 |
| Where should the comma go, and why? |
 |
| And no, that grey area isn't a cover: it's the bottom of the reservoir. |
READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING!
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
It isn't only commas. Where are the periods, question marks, and exclamation points?

—I generally don't gripe about the lack of ending punctuation. But I guess if you're gonna go all in, you have to critique everything. I normally stay away from ending punctuation in memes because I understand this to be a style of prose. A bad style, to be sure, but a style. That said, yeah, ending punctuation would be nice.
