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" ? SuStel:
Don't use it to show verbal pauses. (If you must show verbal pauses, only do so when reporting dialogue, and use an ellipsis.)
I didn't know either what was an ellipsis in grammar, so googling it, I found: "An ellipsis (plural: ellipses) is a punctuation mark consisting of three dots. Use an ellipsis when omitting a word, phrase, line, paragraph, or more from a quoted passage. Ellipses save space or remove material that is less relevant" By saying "verbal pauses" you mean parts of a dialogue where noone speaks, right ? But isn't the ellipsis purpose, to omit words ? ~ ckckckk
