It was midnight and a few beers after celebrating a birthday. I'm sorry I offended your grammatical sensibilities. But you really did go full orange site there, didn't you! I will admit to misquoting Mike Tyson; "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.", which I hope goes someway to restoring peace and order over a tiny, drunken grammatical slip-up.
- fuzztester 3y agoOh, I wasn't offended at all. I am not one of these Oxford comma type of people (I think that was a trend on Twitter a while ago). I have no idea what that means, except maybe it is about grammatical correctness, and I am not going to google it. :) I was just being a little pedantic for fun. I don't do that often. So peace and order was not even disturbed, at least for me. Enjoy.
- fuzztester 3y agoBTW, what is "orange site"? I googled it and at least the top few links don't seem relevant.
- rovolo 3y agoThis site's default theme is orange.
- fuzztester 3y agoThanks, but I knew that, and it does not seem to answer my question, unless I didn't get what you meant. My question was in reply to the comment above by sbuk, excerpted below: >It was midnight and a few beers after celebrating a birthday. I'm sorry I offended your grammatical sensibilities. But you really did go full orange site there, didn't you!
- rovolo 3y agoThis site is the “orange site”. The comment is saying that the gray text comment behaved like some people on this site behave; a behavior which people associate with this site. I think it can be described as overly nit-picky, but that’s an incomplete description.
