Interesting that these listening two parties don't seem to be limited to Vault members.

Serial comma = Oxford comma

I've seen those English dramas too, they're cruel. So, if there's any other way to spell the word, it's fine with me.rsimms3 wrote:Have you been on the internet lately? There's a whole cult devoted to it's uprising in grammar.PugFaceRex wrote:Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?

Re: Dodge And Burn
Yes, but if they don't want people to use phones and/or recording devices, there should be two commas. The lack of that second comma is what makes it sound as if those devices will be allowed.koala wrote:But there is a comma!
Y'all reading this, TMR? Jack can get away with questionable grammar and punctuation, and a lack of case sensitivity (though his grammar is actually usually just fine). These official announcements, though... Ya gotta be careful!
