  1. Every once in a while I visit this short video by Elle Cordova, to refresh my enjoyment of her erudite sense of humour. I watch it once; then I realise I need to watch it again; then again, and again, and so an hour passes with this short piece on permanent repeat, each repeat revealing another nuance in the battle of the punctuation marks. A flawless masterpiece.

    En Dash speaks to Oxford Comma:
    "_I signify every word and blank space in a page range, I am the infinite stairwell between integers, I am the bloody embrace between two countries at war, and on a gravestone I am the entire life lived between birth and death, who are you?_ "

  3. Nigel Farage's party rows back on claims it was seeking to ban Irish election literature in UK

    This is all fine and dandy but what is Nigel's position on the #OxfordComma the people have a right to know.

  4. Soms wens je ook in het Nederlands een #OxfordComma. 🫣

  5. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a technical writer in possession of a nascent styleguide, must eventually add an entry about the #oxfordcomma.

  7. From a random Facebook page’s post that got shoved into my feed, an excellent candidate for a sentence really needing an Oxford comma. At least, I assume so; if not, I want to see this film.

  8. Funderar på om den svenska översättningen i Cyber Resilience Act har tappat en viktig nyans när engelskan definierar open source som "software the source code of which is openly shared and which is made available under a free and open-source licence which provides for all rights to make it freely accessible, usable, modifiable and redistributable" vilket har översatts till "programvara vars källkod delas öppet och som tillhandahålls inom ramen för en licens med fri och öppen källkod som ger alla rättigheter att göra den fritt tillgänglig att användas, modifieras och vidaredistribuera". Det jag stör mig på är missen av Oxford-kommat i sista uppräkningen. En bättre avslutning vore enligt mig "fritt tillgänglig, fri att användas, modifieras och vidaredistribuera" För visst blir det en betydelseskillnad?
