Ah, the riveting world of punctuation! 💤 This manual dives deep into those untamed beasts: dots and commas, and how they bravely distinguish themselves from *gasp* bullet points and multiplication signs. Truly a groundbreaking expedition into the exotic and not-at-all-mundane realm of basic punctuation—riveting stuff, if you’re an insomniac. 📚😴

I understand the semicolon placement here, but I don't like it:
"That puts the target squarely back on Steve Spagnuolo's defense, in my opinion; if K.C. is going to hold steady down the stretch, that's the unit that must play its best ball."
I prefer putting it after the word "defense,":
"That puts the target squarely back on Steve Spagnuolo's defense; in my opinion, if K.C. is going to hold steady down the stretch, that's the unit that must play its best ball."
Opinions?

CW: grammar nerd rant
It's foreword, not forward, when you talk about JD Vance and the part he wrote of the book in question.
"“Dawn's Early Light,” a forthcoming book by the Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin D. Roberts, calling for a “second American Revolution,” features a foreword by Senator JD Vance, the Ohio Republican whom Mr. Trump tapped as his running mate in July." - NYT got it right. So *many* "reporters" haven't. And oh, the closed captions.

CW: Pride month, Jewish text study
I was honored to be the speaker yesterday for my synagogue’s annual Pride Shabbat. Writing this was a joy, and speaking these words to my congregation was an incredible moment. @Rob_T_Firefly suggested that it might be worth sharing to a broader audience - and his suggestions are always worth taking. #PrideShabbat #DvarTorah #Visibility #Behaalotekha #Judaism #Torah #GrammarNerd #Jewniverse #Mazeldon https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fHmvUl_Orr1NlgvD8LOTSTOs6gMaSDRA

@intransitivelie Setting up and formatting a MS Word Table of Contents and Table of Authorities in the longer briefs I write. Boring and nit-picky to some; totally satisfying and enjoyable to me. #Writer #Lawyer #GrammarNerd #FormattingNerd

Customer asked “What’s the good word today?”
I told him “Lucubratist: someone who works by candlelight.”
He replied “I didn’t see that one coming!” and went away delighted. #English #GrammarNerd -
@NeaArmstrong not a fan of the Oxford comma but I won’t hold that against you. 🙃 #GrammarNerd
