[M] Here's an idea

[rpanonmod]

Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Concerns?

Navigate:

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

imo proper sentence structure negates the need for the oxford comma (why would anyone put 'the strippers' first???)

so does the semicolon

you people live in the past

[(Anonymous)]

no

shut up

[(Anonymous)]

You right.

[(Anonymous)]

The word "and" is handy too.

Why are you so against cohesive and legible sentence structure?

Tbh, all the people against things like the Oxford comma tend to come off as too lazy to have ever learned the rules of grammar and so want to change language to suit their purposes.

The problem is, while language can and does change with society, it relies on everyone understanding these new rules as they emerge, not a chunk of society suddenly going "Who cares about grammar anyway? I want JFK and Stalin to be strippers!"

YEAH

[(Anonymous)]

Or... maybe they learned the rules of grammar without the Oxford comma? Because either one is correct and people are likely to stick to what they were taught?

[(Anonymous)]

Then the person that taught them was lazy.

Whoevwr learned you to place a question mark after a statement was a failure of a teacher and you shouldn't stick to what you were taught.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm on your side, anon, but I really wish you hadn't left yourself open to such an easy rebuttal with your interpretative spelling of the word "whoever".

[(Anonymous)]

Irrelevant as it is a typo.

[(Anonymous)]

but who even cares

it's just one fucking comma jesus

[(Anonymous)]

anon. people bitch about comma misuse all over the place around these parts. WE care about one fucking comma obviously.
