I… met her in a club… down in old Soho…
Where you drink… champagne… and it tastes… just like… Coca-Cola…
Edit: I’ve always thought of it as Shattner’s ellipses lol
Packed my bags…last night preflight.
Zero hour…nine am.
And I’m gonna be…HIGH…as a kite…by then.
Now I have weird al’s yoda stuck in my head
I really liked that album, though.
you need a larger panel with more space to fill in the long pauses for the Shatner comma
I feel like with Walken it would be more like:
You know! Bob Sue and, Greg! They? Came to my house!?
Some of the Shatner Commas should be exclamation points.
Plan for when I’m taken hostage by terrorist group / state actor:
- As. Soon. As. I’m. Taken. Start. Talking. Like. Shatner!
- When the hostage video comes out with me spouting whatever script they gave me, the world cracks up laughing.
You know Bob, Sue, and Greg? They came! In my house!
Youuuuu know, bob, sue, ^and Greg^, they cammmmmme, ^to my house^
The Peston comma
I don’t give a fuck about an Oxford Comma
It gives a way to distinguish between “Sue, and Greg” (two independent people), and “Sue and Greg” (a couple).
I actually do like the Oxford Comma a lot, but there is a Vampire Weekend song like what I quoted above.
What about the Jerry Stiller comma?
