I definitely fuck with “ain’t” and “y’all” more ‘n teach’ would’ve liked, but the funnest is multiple contractions like “y’all’ll” or “y’alln’t.”
Y’all’d’ve upset some teachers there
“Putting punctuation before the quotation mark,” is stupid.
Yes. As a programmer, that always felt like it would be a syntax error.
I, too, am a programmer. 😅
I don’t think, it’s really a rule, but a colleague and I also independently decided to put two dots when a sentence ends on etc…
You’re very liberal with those commas buddy.
I will continue to cheerfully split infinitives for the rest of my life.
Sometimes I dangle a participle way out there
They Don’t Think It Be Like It Is But It Do
It do stranger… it do.
Semicolons… what are they? What is their purpose? To wink at people.

Putting punctuation marks in the quotes at the end of the sentence, when the punctuation is clearly in the scope of the sentence itself and not part of the quote.
Imagine if you wrote code like that:
string x = "Hi this is some text;" string[] y = ["Never," "gonna," "give," "you," "up"];And starting a sentence with “and”. You do it in speech all the time why not writing if you’re trying to sound “casual”?
It’s my sentence, and I’ll fragment it if I damn well please!
