Brevity by Dan Thompson for October 12, 2014

Good luck on finding that elusive Oxford Comma.

He was a colonialist, not a type we admire today, but rather dashing, in the style of that period.

He got Indian ink poisoning and ended as Vasco in De Coma.

I forgot to re-mark…that I question the point of Dan’s running this on Columbus Day…Is it punctual, for the holiday…or does it underscore his slashing of the Columbus myths?

These comments are making me commatose….

Susan, did you get my e-mail? Mine’s the same….

Search he may, but he’ll eventually have to come to a .

@Al S.Re: “the mast head”You mean the one that has pause?

There are a few of gocomics commenters on that ship.

Wow, so many comma -mentors. Let’s not forget one of the discoverers that sailed to America on the Santa Clausa and two other ships.

He was in jail for a long time.

I wonder how long grammar and punctuation Nazis have actually been around…….

Bruno! A woman posting on Facebook wrote in typo that “I could smell his colon before he was near” I would hope she meant to say Cologne.

I think Oxford was around during Vasco’s time; ergo, there should be an Oxford comma in that sentence!

Coming soon: He will encounter and work in conjunction with Grammar Moses.
