Is this before or after the huffing and puffing? Or do I have my stories mixed up? Good one.

This was just whimsy, posted in response to all of the "linguistic" rants.
BTW
Two of my recent 'Linguistic' favorites were a poster that said "Black Lives Mater" and another, when they announced the closing of a bunch of Chicago Public Schools last Spring: "Our children need [there (sic)] schools." Might I suggest that the protesters needed the schools too, but spent more time making posters than learning English & grammar.

Not for the reference to body parts, for the importance of the comma!

That's not a comma that's an apostrophe.

Pap Pap gets the biggest gold star for noticing that!
Since Loki did not call it out, does this mean his supreme linguistic leadership sk**ls are in jeopardy?

It means Loki was trying to do about ten things at once. Sometimes a booboo gets under my radar.

That was an easy mistake. I wasn't actually trying to be nit-picky. ;)

No offense taken. I used to be a proofreader years ago before spell check. They love it when they catch me.
