Indigo Blue Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 made me think of this board, lol! It’s over ten years old, but I’d never heard it. JFTR: I am pro Oxford comma. Lil’ Jon, he always tells the truth. 😜 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimomma Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 This song has been in our family rotation for years and I never paid attention to the lyrics! I had no idea. I am also pro oxford comma. I also cannot (and will not) break my habit of two spaces after periods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are totally free to use those extra spaces forever! ☺️ Who gives a fig about extra spaces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I want to break the habit of two spaces, but it's hard! I'm inconsistent now because I use one space when I remember and two all the other times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I’ve liked Vampire Weekend for a while but I’ll admit I’ve never paid attention to the lyrics. I’m definitely pro-Oxford comma. The two spaces after a period that my dh does drives me nuts though. It really labels anyone that uses it as an old-timer. But that’s not why I dislike it. I think I dislike it because it throws off the spacing now more than it did when we all used typewriters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what does the hive do? Argues about the Oxford comma, lol. 😂 So the song is so fitting. You just have to excuse the language, if that matters to you. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
