Yeah, I think that too. ThanksnullPointer wrote:I think you could replace the semi colon with a dash and make that part slightly more correct. A dash can be used as sort of 'an interrupted thought' within a sentence, which seems to be the case here.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
I agree with the dash for the interruption. You should rewrite the sentence as:Erik_Twice wrote:Another punctuation question for you guys![]()
There are many other games; Fire emblem games, even, that are good from the start.
How do you punctuate that phrase correctly?

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
I may be biased. Before I started generally ignoring Facebook and/or hiding 40% of the people on my friend's list (I like them as people in the contexts that I interact with them normally, I just don't like the nonsense they spout off on that site... I swear, social media brings out the worst in people), I had a handful of those anti-theist types on my feed, telling good people - people like Mike - "You're wrong, you're stupid, you shouldn't have your stupid beliefs" while constantly posting Ricky Gervais tweets, "motivational" posters, etc etc. Thus, I may have been conditioned, almost Pavlovian-like, to associate him with that type.
Again: I am not a man of faith myself, but I am anti-extremism and anti-hate, so those people irked me.
FWIW I do like his standup.

Came back for the conversation. Left the bait on the floor and walked away.

My boss did the same thing. He's now worm farming. Apparently the type he uses are excellent bait worms, though I don't think he intends to ever use them for that purpose, just for generating mulch.jp1 wrote:Came back for the conversation. Left the bait on the floor and walked away.
