That is true. It all depends on what you are writing for.

Or "John Smith was joined at the fundraiser by both an actor and a politician." The efficiency of lists is nice and mirrors how we speak, but it inherently invites ambiguity. I'd choose to be more easily understood over efficiency.

I'm not against the Oxford Comma, but every example I've ever seen supposedly promoting its importance could have been rewritten or split up to avoid needing the Oxford Comma in the first place. And it would be more easily understood, too. Write to be understood, and the Oxford Comma doesn't matter.

Overlord's quite a change up from Ouran. 😅 Both are favorites of mine tho. I loved the original FB anime, and loved the manga series. For some reason, couldn't get into the new one. Pacing was too different.

I found them a good reminder at the end of a video. Reminds me how I can help support it. There's a difference between liking something and wanting to support it. Make sure you link it to gratitude to the viewer and a shared desire to help the channel get a wider audience.

It's the other way around. We are qualifying that it is 'tuna' rather than any other kind of fish. Which also makes no sense, since we don't say salmonfish or troutfish. We learned dumb.

There was an anime that followed with a slightly different version of the opening - as well as an alternate version set to traditional festival music for one of the endings: youtu.be/hA1wq1pwjOI?...

You know you've found your soulmate when you can randomly yell out "Miaka!!" and your parter immediately responds with "Tamahome!!!"
