I don’t even know what this one is. I mean, it’s obviously a punctuation error, but this isn’t even a place I’d normally use punctuation, so. Mmm ice cream. Thanks, GrammarTroika Sister #2!
Where to start? The spelling? The punctuation? The bizarre nationalism? Thanks, GrammarTroika Sister #2!
First of all, I’d like to nitpick the financial argument being made here. Let’s suppose that a beverage costs a dollar. Why not advertise this as a breakfast for $5.99 instead of one that comes with a caveat? It’s weird. Oh, and ALSO? ELLIPSES HAVE THREE DOTS. Not five, and not two (unless it’s on …read more.
Reporter #1 says this is a cute game that’s lousy at punctuation. I think phone-games are right up there with Facebook on the “Don’t expect anything” scale, Reporter #1. But you keep on with your optimism.

That’s Laura’s question, inspired by this exciting box of Wheaties. She explains: I’m not sure what all-time is. It’s like a bizarre concept from some old sci fi that totally violates established, popularly known rules of physics that were discovered after it was written. Or: we all know what part-time and full-time mean. Is all-time …read more.
I just don’t even with this one. Reporter #1 notes “It’s not just the weirdness, it’s the inconsistency.” You certainly have a point, Reporter #1. But it’s also the weirdness. I’m so confused. Does anybody have any light to shed on this?
