I don't think I'd ever correct Mr. Sowell about anything. However, I would remove that comma before "or maybe rent a canoe."
ReplyDeleteThe comma-or is appropriate there because what follows it is a clause. But you're looking at the right part of the text. The error is so simple that I had to look hard for it when reviewing the meme: there's no closing quotation mark after "...rent a canoe." But frankly, since the text is supposed to be dialogue, like from a play, I wouldn't have used quotes at all.
