#comma — Public Fediverse posts

Has the article writer ever considered using anything besides a comma (,)?

"in 1905, #Moscow printers demanded to be paid for setting not only letters but also #punctuation marks, which required the same action and the same amount of time as the alphabet. What is known as the #CommaStrike spread popular #boycott throughout the country, leading to the #czar ceding #Russia its first constitution. A #comma can, more or less, get the blood boiling."

So we are lecturing people about if and how to use hashtags now too?

#Get #A #Fucking #Life #Comma #Seriously #ExclamationMark

Can't we just agree on not being an asshole?
In my book that already includes using ALT text and especially not lecturing people.

But what do I know...

Another Butterfly from Friday’s visit to the meadows at Brandon Marsh: a Comma, who was active along the border between the meadow and adjacent woodland.

I have had people go frothing at the mouth when I point out that a lot of #punctuation is "#silence #notation."

A #comma is a point of silence, it is shorter than the point of silence of a #period. #Ellipsis (...) is a fade to silence. #Emdash/dash is an abrupt silence. #Parenthesis invokes a point of silence before and after an aside, much the same length as a comma.

People forget that the written word is made to represent the spoken word, that includes silence and change of pitch.

? and !

The word "comma" comes from the Greek *κόμμα* (kómma), meaning "a piece cut off." However, in French and Italian, the term is different; it derives from the Latin word *virgula,* meaning "a little rod."

>>> def t(*args):
... return tuple(args)
...
>>> x = t(3)
>>> x
(3,)

(half in jest)

I think the comma making the tuple is one of those things that you trip over when you're brand-new to Python, and then you get it and it's not an issue much after that.

An account of yesterday's WPL final between DC and RCB and a bumper photo gallery including the first bees of the year and two spectacular butterflies - a #Brimstone and a #Comma.

Which one is the easiest for you to pronounce?

It’s late in the season, but #today ‘s autumn sunshine warming the gravel has attracted this beautiful warm-orange Comma known universally as
Polygonia c-album
female I think, but of the late season hutchinsoni variety - maybe it was bred on our nettle patch (we have plenty on our field boundary!)

@mostaurelius I’m a sucker for a #littlefreelibrary We have several nearby. Like your example, they are crafted with care. In related news, while browsing the free-cart at our #LocalLibrary I stumbled upon this gem (especially since I’ve been trying to learn grammar.) 15 pages on the #comma #ohboy!

I’m really annoyed with Apple’s latest #software update. Specifically, the #dictation feature for texts. It throws in commas EVERYWHERE! If I was dictating, it might look like “It throws in, commas everywhere!” I realize this is a #GrammarGeek #PunctuationGeek #problem, but it’s slowing me down because I have to go back and delete random commas. If anyone can tell me how to make it stop, I’d be so grateful. 🙏😩 #Apple #Commas #Comma #Punctuation #Grammar #SoftwareUpdate

Mostly, software interfaces are only defined by their signature and without a formal description of the admissible behavior and timing assumptions.

#ComMA provides a family of domain-specific languages that integrate existing techniques from formal behavioral and time modeling and is easily extensible.

Recall that a #colimit of a #diagram in a #category C, that is, of a #functor F:J→C, is #given by a #universal [[#cocone]] for F. A [[#co #cone]] for F is a #natural #transformation from F to a #constant diagram,

Δ(c)=(J→1→cC),

so that a cocone for F is an #object of a #comma category,

F↓Δ,

where Δ:C1→CJ is the #diagonal functor #obtained by #pulling #back #along the #unique functor J→1. A universal cocone is #simply an #initial object of F↓Δ.
