Comrade Misfit said...: Marc, they should only be used by William Shatner. By anyone else, it looks moronic.; 9/24/2015 9:54 AM

LRod said...: The PC is Not a Typewriter

Explains it perfectly. Two spaces is wrong, unless you're using a typewriter. Modern word processors solved the problem. Don't keep adding to it.

If by "Shatner comma" you mean "Harvard comma" or "Oxford comma", then absolutely. Punctuation saves lives. There was a book about it titled Bear Eats Shoots and Leaves.; 9/24/2015 5:34 PM

coma, comma.

And that three or is it four period thing....

On punctuation Victor Borge had it right, punctuation must be phonetic POP!

An example of the Shatner Comma in use:

It, does, nothing, but, put, pauses, where, they, do, not, belong.

And honestly tell me you don't hear HIS voice when you read that.

BadTux said...: The Shatner comma, is when, we have all these pauses, like Bill Shatner, except not as dorky, and not as cool.; 9/24/2015 7:15 PM
BadTux said...: So, what's the end of this sentence about Fifth Ave. and should I capitalize the "A"? Two spaces after the 'Ave.' makes it clear that I'm ending the sentence there and should capitalize the following A. One space... not so certain.; 9/24/2015 7:17 PM
Comrade Misfit said...: BadTux. Exactly. Two spaces signals that the period ended the sentence.; 9/24/2015 7:41 PM
Marc said...: ...and when you miss the period, folks kind of get jumpy.; 9/25/2015 3:30 AM
New Jovian Thunderbolt said...: Two, dammit. We agree. All sane people agree.; 9/25/2015 2:24 PM
