Is there anything on this world more vile than psuedo-intellectual elitists who refuse to use an oxford comma?

>> No.3658581

people who bitch about ending a sentence with a proposition. sorry faggots, this ain't latin.

As a personal preference, sentences sound more elegant to me when they don't end with a preposition. However, I would personally never bitch about someone's prepositional ending and I'd frown upon someone who did.

Whether one uses the Oxford comma or not, I don't care. I just want them to be goddamn consistent. I don't like them using it sometimes and not other times. Either do it all the time or not at all.

The only thing worse is people using terms like 'psuedo-intellectual elitists'. Especially when they misspell 'pseudo'.

Well said, friend. Kindly indifferent to all but hypocrisy, the sort of attitude that allows you to be likeable without being a complete non-entity. Bravo!
