How is Spencer Lee doing?

[anon_0pi0cv8t1ggvb]

Just say "No," to the Oxford comma. It's not needed. The inclusion of "and," not only clarifies but also serves as a pause between the listed items or activities.

The court system would disagree with you. $10 million dollar comma.

And isn't a direct equivalent to a comma.

Here's a good example of why the oxford comma isn't redundant and helps to clarify meaning: (excerpt from the link)

----
For those in need of a grammar refresh, the Oxford (or serial) comma is a comma placed between the last two items in a series of three or more. For instance, “I like cake, pizza, and ice cream.”

Proponents of the Oxford comma argue it’s necessary to avoid potential ambiguity.

In the example sentence, it’s clear I like three types of food in and of themselves. Remove it and the sentence reads, “I like cake, pizza and ice cream” — leading to the potential to read the last two items as one combination item. I no longer like pizza and ice cream on their own, one could argue; I like pizza and ice cream only when they’re together. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

lol just saw this after posting my example. Your example is much better! Saving this.

Is there an English 101 Board we can move this discussion to? I keep checking this thread for any updates on SL and all I get is..... whatever the heck this stupid thing has turned in to,,,,,,,,,. Welcome to the dead time before the season starts.

Well, in my defense, I did have Spencer doing pretty well with 6 takedowns. But I digress. Will let it go

GO HAWKS!!

Boooo! more talk about Lee and less about commas, please!

So green eggs and ham means that only the eggs are green or are they both green?

Spencer said he was going to red shirt before his knee injury so I think it's safe to say he will not be starting.

If you're good enough starting as a freshman has an advantage. If you get a season ending injury like Logan you can still have 4 NCAA's.

They might wait to pull his shirt until first of the year. IMO Iowa is title contenders with Lee, PD3, and a healthy Stoll. A lot has to happen for Iowa to contend but I think its time Iowa has a season where things fall into place.

It's pretty clear.

"Champing at the bit" on HR. They are "Chomping at the bit" over at BWI.

Apparently work is slow today. I found myself in the comment section. It was totally worth it as I got a chuckle out of this in the middle of their transitive verb argument:

My horse like to chomp her jaws all the time with a hackamore or bite and likes to bit you. How can I stop her from doing this and why does she do it.

Well, if the challenge is "Find someone asking a question that isn't relevant" then I say, "Challenge accepted!"

This link is NSFW. Not safe around children. Not safe for BWI. Only for cesspools.

Can't imagine that ever happening in Vall's world...lord knows it never happens in mine... [insert sarcasm font]

 

[fanpujols5]

so who is going to open practice tomorrow and giving us a full and detailed report how Spencer and PD3 and others look?

 

[dicemen99]

BWI has already sent its spy(k) into the room early. I can tell you reliably from an honest person that EVERYBODY is beating Spencer in the room and PDIII must hit the weights HARD!!!!

Spyker cracks me up. He never gets out of character. It's actually pretty impressive

Agreed. Been going on a few years now. I think he first made his mark chiming in on Quentin Wright's girlfriend in 2010-11. Going on 7 years. The consistency is impressive. Even rutgersal fell off the rails for a short time last year. Spyker has a chance to be the Cal Ripken of the message boards.
