"Byeeeee"
Like pronounced "BAH-yeeeeeeee" instead of bye. You sound like Tigger bouncing away while bidding someone farewell.

DELIVERABLES

Y'all are making me cry with the work terms. I come here to get away from those dang deliverables!

"Onboarding" .. it's orientation for crying out loud.

"way, shape, or form."

I wish I could turn that phrase into a drinking game at work.

"I wouldn't help them in any way, shape, or form." Could have just stopped at "way".

"dialoguing" (I really despise that this is now acceptable)

(TPA85, I'm no longer going to use "way, shape, or form" simply because you used the Oxford comma!!! I bow at your feet.)

I'm confused. How do people use this incorrectly?

Example sentence?

Here's something I'm tired of hearing.. people correcting me when I use the Oxford comma!

Cannot use the Oxford comma, the journalist in me is programmed to go without. When I am writing for my PhD program, I have to use APA style and that comma kills me every time.

Deal! Changing the world's phrases one comma at a time.
I was just always taught to use it and I don't understand why it isn't universally accepted.

"A thousand percent!" or any variation of it really irritates me. "When I try something I always give it a hundred and ten percent."

Since when is 100% insufficient?

Long live the Oxford Comma! http://behlerblog.com/2012/01/24/the...omma-nuf-said/
On that note, I was taught that saying "and" in math denotes a decimal. Therefore, it peeves me when people throw "and" into a number. Leslie Anne, unless those people want you to give 100.10 percent, tell them to go somewhere!

Isn't this technically 100.(point) 10 percent, or just a shade over 100 percent? It doesn't read like it's 110 percent.

If this drives you crazy, you should see my copy when I'm speechwriting and have to cite a number for my speaker. "XYZ Foundation raised more than 61-point-7-million-dollars in Fiscal Year ...."

Odd to read (and write), but it makes it flow during delivery.

My thoughts exactly!

I think Nick Jonas was a weak spot in a very strong cast, but overall I prefer the 25th to the 10th. I will admit that the 25th "One Day More" had a lot of room for improvement, mostly due to Jonas.

Back to the thread...

#TeamOxfordComma :D

Politicians who name drop random people from random towns in swing states.

"Just the other day, I was talking to Mary Fisher in Podunkville OH. She told me that..."

That was my (decimal) point. ba-dum-chh
