True. The “History” Channel, in sufficient quantity, will make you yearn for death, not fear it.
And just last week I happend to research dangling participles by myself.
I wish all the people by JFK hadn’t shot him by his wife. [Fixed!]
I hope you counted off extra for “bcuz”.
Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.

I wonder how the aquaducts are in this neighbourhood. And obviously the roads go without saying.

I do think that line would awesome in the right story.
Be sure to include the professor from Düsseldorf in the framing narrative.
Believe me, I did.
Today, we had a paper that included the phrase “and stuff” five times. That lowered the score for sure.

You have to use multiquote to get each quote that you want, trim them to the bit you wanted, move the first part of each quote tag (the part that has [noparse]
[quote=<username>;<post number>]
[/noparse]) to the front of the quotes in the correct order so that the wrong name doesn’t get associated with the wrong text and then make sure you have enough close quotes at the end. Preview really helps. It used to automatically grab the nested quote but we decided this would be easier.

Ignorance fought!
Anyone who uses zeugmas is barking mad and up the wrong tree.
