@mathewi Microsoft used to suggest "please advice" in lieu of "please advise." Made me shudder every time.

Saturday night pedantic gripe:
"gift" is not a verb

"This is the hill on which I will die" is more grammatically correct than "This is the hill I will die on".

This is the hill on which I will, most probably, die.

@Lavernica This begs a joke about sequence of tenses that I am too tired to come up with right now.

@intransitivelie Setting up and formatting a MS Word Table of Contents and Table of Authorities in the longer briefs I write. Boring and nit-picky to some; totally satisfying and enjoyable to me.

Customer asked “What’s the good word today?”
I told him “Lucubratist: someone who works by candlelight.”
He replied “I didn’t see that one coming!” and went away delighted.

@NeaArmstrong not a fan of the Oxford comma but I won’t hold that against you. 🙃
