prove this wrong.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 13 01:35:58 2012 No.2479243 It's right.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 13 01:35:58 2012 No.2479244 >>2479238 wouldn't it be "we invited the strippers; jfk and stalin." if you were actually listing two strippers?

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 13 01:37:58 2012 No.2479245 >>2479244 it could be

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 13 01:37:58 2012 No.2479246 >>2479244 Nah. Some would choose to drop the comma entirely though: We invited the strippers jfk and stalin.

I think the plural on strippers messes things up in the second example.

We invited the stripper, jfk and stalin.

With a singular stripper, there's much less chance of reading jfk and stalin as a phrase referring back somehow to two beings within one stripper entity.

This is a rageful post about The Hunger Games.

>LORD OF THE FLIES ALREADY DID THAT SHIT AND IT WAS WRITTEN BETTER. God. Yes, survival fiction is cool, but come on. Have an original thought for once in your life.

>KOREA ALREADY DID YOUR SHIT. It was called Battle Royale, and it was FUCKING BADASS. There weren't any pussy-ass names like "Katniss."

>Goddamnit, you're a successful writer doing what you love and making a shitton of money off it. WHY CAN'T I BE YOU????

Fucking . . . goddamnit. Anyone else feel like this or should I take my ass somewhere else?
