Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation.
Wasn’t there a woman in the team at the end of the last film? Why has she vanished without trace, never to be mentioned?
Oh, I get it. There can only be one named female character per action movie.
Otherwise they might have a conversation about something other than a man, and then where would we be?

The total short-run impact of automation on low-wage employment may be economically small even when technological substitution is taking place.
My almost-finished WIP is full of punched cards. Full.

I suddenly had visions of a dystopian zee-rust future with people surfing the web via punch cards. And the piles of cards that would accumulate when reading a flame-war.

Colonising space is a lot harder than, say, colonising Pacific islands. Even though in space you know where you’re going and (more or less) what you’ll find when you get there.

This article takes the opposite approach to mine. It spends three of its four points on using punctuation more freely and creatively, then, almost as an afterthought, notes that you should know the incorrect usages so you can avoid them.
I’d say: learn the conventions solidly and first (they are just conventions, but literate people will expect you to follow them). Then, once you have mastered your scales and arpeggios, start your jazz improvisation.

Punctuation is one of the most basic tools in the writer’s toolbox. But let’s face it, we all struggle with it sometimes!
We can use professional editors, proofreaders, and services like Grammarly to help us fix our mistakes, but it’s important to understand the fundamentals.
In today’s article, Dominic Selwood, author of Punctuation Without Tears, gives us some tips. #writingtips #punctuation
