I love these Fix It! Grammar books from IEW. It‘s important for me that my children learn proper grammar and how literature can affect your life, so in my homeschool lessons we‘re heavy on it. Math is secondary. 😬🙊

WritethebookAnniemae I totally study grammar books. Feels good to know I‘m not the only one. 6y

Okay, so the error in the article is funny 😁. Question on the article's title: Would it be better to have a hyphen there as opposed to the comma? I would think that the hyphen gets rid of any potential ambiguity. #LitsyHumor #MrBookWantsToKnow

Bookzombie I think a hyphen would be better too. 6y

heikemarie This is actually industry standard because the comma replaces the word and, does it not? 6y

Texreader @inwhichHeikereadsharder You are correct about how newspapers use commas in headlines; they mean “and” 6y

heikemarie @Texreader 😅 thanks just making sure! In that case I don‘t think it‘s confusing as written. 6y

Texreader @inwhichHeikereadsharder I‘m so used to comma meaning “and” that I️ can‘t figure out the ambiguity. Way way back in the day I️ worked in newspapers (writer, editor, headline writer). 6y

MrBook @inwhichHeikereadsharder @Texreader I was unaware of that, thank you ?????. While I knew the comma does work, I thought it can produce some ambiguity since commas tend to have quite a variety of usages, such as separating clauses (whose placements can lead to different--and sometimes funny ?--meanings). The hyphen has far less possible uses, like with non-comma descriptors (like in this case a noun-noun pairing or "9-year-old"). (edited) 6y

Listen, when we talk about propositioning during a sales pitch, this is not the kind of offer we suggest you make. Makes one wonder about your beds and their cleanliness. If you know what I mean 😉👍🏻. #LitsyHumor
