So I have always thought and still believe in the passion of a person with a knuckle that makes mistakes in grammar. I mean this is metaphorical – no bloody fingers – but using incorrect grammar is the eighth deadly sin in my childhood home.

And now I have a confession: I have begun to forget the Oxford Comma Appreciation Society Est 1912 Vintage Retro Shirt, Tank Top, Hoodie. What used naturally has become a recall test. Is a comma here? Should I use Oxford commas?

I don’t think this is due to aging (silence) but to our growing sluggishness in new ways of communication. We can also blame social media for this, especially Twitter. When you only have 140 characters to create a point, why waste a character on a comma?

Fortunately, I have the editors to scan behind me and make sure all my commas are in order, even though they (and I, obviously) sometimes miss something, even lice (gasping!) Recently a disagreement about the subject/verb. Everything!

Mental function quickly states that 9 times 9 is 81 without the benefit of a computer, besides being strangely satisfying, providing periodic reassurance that the brain is provided with enough oxygen.

Any synapse is related to that exact if parrots computation besides doing something good for noggin. Calisthenics for the brain, perhaps? Then, what is not happening in the mind missing these daily exercises? The correct answer is Google, but I will leave it to my dear readers while I return to the Oxford Comma Appreciation Society Est 1912 Vintage Retro Shirt, Tank Top, Hoodie.
