Sooner or later we have to come to terms with the fact that the internet has radicalized a whole generation of people who would otherwise not hold extreme views about the Oxford comma

Look, I know typing on phones sucks but a small act of punctuation would save the rest of us a lot of time deciphering posts. #AnOld #Commas

@0xF21D it is a #TSV file, but aside from out-commented lines, all entries are just one after the other, thus should just import fine.

I don't use #CSV as I want to be able to write full sentences in data fields and standardized on this since some fields may need #commas and #spaces, whereas #tabs work perfectly fine as seperators...

Wow, what a find, thank you for the link.

Matthew Zipf has written an elegant & perceptive essay on style, Renata Adler and the comma. A text that warrants reflection and re-reading.

'Punctuation controls two things: logical separation and breath… Writers weigh each role differently.'

I'm sure you've seen this, but it amuses me - so I thought I'd share it with you 😄

@secretasianman we've also removed police from traffic enforcement (that they didn't want to do anyway) and replaced them with 🤷 💩 (aka "infrastructure, but we can't afford it right now, as-designed") #VisionZero, #Commas

Weird, cuz TSV also works on https://infosec.space , https://mstdn.social and https://social.tchncs.de ...

After all, I merely put one domain per line and use # to put comments in entire lines. So the only " failing " entries are the comment lines...

The difference between #TSV and #CSV is the usa of #Tabs instead of #Commas and in all tests I could.perform this doesn't make a difference as it's basically #ASCII-compatible #UTF8-formatted #Text without even any indentations whatsoever...

If a book title uses a comma, but not an Oxford comma, is it all right to add an Oxford when I quote the title if the meaning is preserved?

This #Nature headline is a great example why #commas are important – and when a comma changes the subject.

Fixed it:

If anyone ever tells you commas are not important, just show them this #commas #comma #grammar
