SuStel:
and please include an Oxford comma
I didn't know what an oxford comma is, so I googled it, and found:
"a comma used after the penultimate item in a list of three or more items, before ‘and’ or ‘or’ (e.g. an Italian painter, sculptor, and architect)"
However I'm confused, because of the fact that in klingon the "and/or" is always last and doesn't appear before the final noun.
The way I understand using the oxford comma in klingon, would be:
vIghro', gha'cher, bo'Degh, je vIlegh
Is this what you meant, by saying "include an oxford comma" ?
I really meant just for verb/sentence conjunctions. *vIghro', gha'cher, bo'Degh je vIlegh */I see the cat, the goat, and the bird/ (Oxford comma in English but not Klingon) but *vIghro' vIlegh, gha'cher vIje', 'ej bo'Degh vIQoy */I see the cat, I feed the goat, and I hear the bird /(Oxford comma in both English and Klingon) *lalDan noHmeH taghmoHpu' /Oxford comma. /yIyep'eghmoH.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
