If you’re not, and I say this in good faith, take your own advice around your tone. Making assumptions about other people, and then doubling down when they correct you, comes across as a kind of horrible I doubt you truly are.","comments":[{"id":48090632,"user":"nickburns","time":1778468611,"time_ago":"3 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Right, you’re a troll. Something, something Dwight Macdonald about parody needing to be smart and not bitter.","comments":[{"id":48095598,"user":"nickburns","time":1778510295,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

does it piss you off that punct isn't used properly anymore and that, commas, can happen anywhere? Are you one of those who still has use for em-dash?","comments":[{"id":48093888,"user":"JumpCrisscross","time":1778500833,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

1.) No. It's another helpful tell. (And what do you mean 'anymore'?)

2.) I'm comfortable with varied comma stylization.

3.) My personal usage of the em-dash hasn't changed in a few decades and I don't see it doing so just because a bunch of folks only just recently learned it exists.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":4,"url":"item?id=48095090"}],"comments_count":3,"level":3,"url":"item?id=48091722"}],"comments_count":8,"level":2,"url":"item?id=48090632"}],"comments_count":9,"level":1,"url":"item?id=48090611"}],"comments_count":10,"level":0,"url":"item?id=48090487"}],"comments_count":11,"url":"item?id=48090471"}
