Yep that's what I'm thinking. I keep saying I want to move somewhere boring as hell so there aren't people attracted to it to make it crappy. I don't need fancy attractions or night life I just want my peace

How about the use of commas?

This, this, and that.

or:

This, this and that.

No comma

No comma

I guess you must really like to "Help Jack off the horse".

Not too sure about that. Remember, Wyoming is number 48 for most LGBTQ friendly states.

Minnesota on the other hand

For Black people “ain’t” is a word and “isn’t” ain’t.

Have you axed them if they consider "isn't" a word?

Price less.

Really guys? Not so welcoming.

@JMT - how about we discuss the elimination of the double space between sentences? I was taught to use them, but the current style manuals say it's no longer necessary, and I'm told that's being taught in schools these days. The reason given is that modern fonts are designed to be more readable. However, the modern fonts don't seem that way to me. Until they do, and I can see extra space that helps me read a paragraph, I will buck the new rule!

Sure. I see your double spaces! We were taught double spaces, but yes, the rule changed to single space. I was under the impression it was due to the shift from typewriters type-setting to computer type-settings. Typewriters give equal space to each letter and computers do not. This eliminated the need for the extra space in the minds of the rule-makers.

I can’t read whether sarcasm or not.

My source is one funny as hell black dude named Steve Harvey.

Aw is it really that big of a deal to poke fun at dialects. I get made fun of for saying "ope" all the time at work

We do have a gay Governor who would help jack off that horse for you

Not the same. Not a list.

I’m a die hard proponent of the Oxford Comma:

And see this court case where the absence of the Oxford Comma cost the company $5,000,000.

No comma

That used to be correct (and was how I was taught in school), no comma before the "and". However, apparently Microsoft's dictionary thinks otherwise and always suggest the extra comma for clarity in the list.

Chris, what are you talking aboot?

I’m a die hard proponent of the Oxford Comma:

Me too, I just didn't know it was Oxford / Harvard / Serial. Now I do. Thanks.

 

[Wildman]

It's unfortunate too because Colorado used to be a very conservative state. It was very beautiful then. Still is, it's just being ruined by the untalented and unimpressive managerial class.

WA used to be the same... Now it's CA North...

I'm with you. I always try and use the Oxford Comma.

I had two different English teachers with PHD's in high school and that's how they taught me. I learned enough to test out of English at the college level. I forgot everything else I learned, except that.

 

[OkieJoe]

Exactly what we did. Nothing to do, very few places to eat or shop (really only Walmart), and enough wind that most people who do move here would likely regret having done so.

You just described Oklahoma. We’re having wind gusts up to 60 mph today. I had to tie all of the livestock to the side of the barn this morning so they wouldn’t blow away. The last part is a joke, but it’s probably not a bad idea.

Yep, that's why most of the normies and libtards seem to avoid the "fly over states" and midwest.
