09.08.09 COMMAS: MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU THINK

The biggest laugh of the day so far comes courtesy Jonathan Charles of the BBC, who rushed into the evening’s top news story perhaps a bit too quickly. I think he should do a similar sign-on every day. “This is BBC World News Today. I’m Jonathan Charles the result of a massive oil spill that killed thousands of baby seals.” “I’m Jonathan Charles forced into sexual slavery as a child.” “I’m Jonathan Charles the man who committed three gruesome murders.”

MC Hammer says:

Actually, “periods” are more important than you think. A comma there would not have been appropriate.

Matt says:

@MC Hammer: I considered that, but if I’d put “periods” in place of “commas” in the headline, the message would have been very different.

CrabApple says:

Instead of saying “period” maybe you could say “full stop”, like the people who invented the GD language.

The Guitar God says:

I think he needs to take it to the next level, actually: full stops.
