    What are you getting at Joe? I did my laundry as often as I needed my Beatles shirt…

    I learned how not to do laundry in my young days in the service. After discovering not to combine brand new green pants with brand new white underwear, I then learned how not to use bleach.

    It’s so sad to me, watching kids outgrow clothes that they or I love. Makes me all nostalgic. And my kids are young enough to do it all the time.

    I hope to teach them all to do laundry, as well or better as me (especially the boy). And basic cooking, computer fixing and etc. Responsibilities don’t hurt anyone, and I know a lot of people who still can’t cook in their 30s.

    johnnydoc5,

    Don’t worry about the comma. If anyone thinks it’s necessary, we can just reassign one of the excess, unnecessary commas Joe randomly and profligately strews throughout his posts. BTW, if you ever need a semicolon, he’s also accrued a substantial surplus of those too.

    johnnydoc, don’t worry. Getting splattered by bird droppings such as that brings good luck.

    Joe,

    You may have forgotten a couple of things since Eng. 102.

    It’s not that he’s forgotten things, it’s that English has changed since the year 102.

    No worries Fritz and Otto, I am not concerned about that. I would like to hear more of the fascinating stories of the adventures of the Doty boys in their youth, though. I find it quite diverting. They are most amusing!

    Tulsa must be a pretty tough town, punctuationwise.

    “correct” punctuation is becoming very flexible, informal and adapting to the modern age of emails, text messages, chat rooms, online forums and the like. It is also a constant source of debate and discussion among editors and copy editors, especially regarding the comma. There are various writing styles and style guides (AP style, the Chicago Manual, and many more) that treat the comma differently. (Then there’s American English as opposed to British English, which takes a very approach to comma placement.) But at least there is general agreement that the comma is overused and abused. A great deal of my work as a copyeditor involves removing unnecessary words and commas.

    Since my field has nothing to do with grammar, if I make a typo from time to time, I don’t think that the world will end.

    Indeed, it’s a byword in the clubs and salons where the lions of Tulsa society gather: “You can always Tahlequah man… But you cain’t tahl him much!”
