Editorial Gang Violence

[scarlettina]

For your amusement...
"Law enforcement officials confirmed Friday that four more copy editors were killed this week amid ongoing violence between two rival gangs divided by their loyalties to the The Associated Press Stylebook and The Chicago Manual Of Style."

They're sociopaths, these people. And they don't understand that there shouldn't be any

Yes! How can anyone even bother debating the serial comma, when it's so clearly the superior choice? Ridiculous.

I'm a long-time member of the CMS gang. Watch your backs, AP!

I applied for a new job this week (we're moving, so I'm exploring new possibilities) and one of the questions in the listing was, "Are you passionate about the Oxford comma? Why?"

I have never been so excited to respond to an employment ad! I agree - its supremacy is quite clear.

"Are you passionate about the Oxford comma? Why?"

You could repurpose the old joke and say 'Because of my parents, Ayn Rand, and God.'
