would it change the sentence by giving me page?

it would make it a clear list of three distinct entities rather than additional discriptors of the initial entity as it currently reads. it is the difference between:

Nelson Mandela, (who is) an 800 year old demi god and a collector of things.

vs

(all of the following: ) Nelson Mandela, an 800 year old demigod, and a collector of things.

Best short story I've ever read.
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/3228/1/the-glass-blower/the-glass-blower

Quote: "Nelson Mandela, (who is) an 800 year old demi god and a collector of things."


But that's grammatically incorrect anyway. "an 800 year old demi god" can't be referring to Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela is its own entity in an enumeration implied by "[...] include encounters with <expected enumeration of at least 2 or more items>".

Seeing as "Nelson Mandela, (who is) an 800 year old demi god and a collector of tralalas." only enumerates one item, it cannot be correct when appended to the sentence.

"Highlights of Peter Ustinov's global tour include encounters with [...]"

That implies an enumeration, doesn't it?

exactly, as worded, i don't see any certain implication of enumeration. 'encounters' can refer to multiple encounters with the same person, or with multiple people. it's ambiguous.

of course you can provide distinction without the comma by adding additional terms:

include several encounters with X -> obviously multiple encounters with a single entity
include encounters with the each of the following: X, Y and Z -> obvious enumeration

but really isn't a simple comma easier and more concise?

According to the "official comma rules" given out by my school: with the the Oxford Comma, Nelson Mandela is one of three items in a series, separated by commas. Without the Oxford Comma, direct object "Nelson Mandela" is identified/explained by an appositive phrase containing two separate identifiers. So indeed, very different meanings.

I enjoy the Oxford Comma for its reduction of ambiguity, but I think lots of sentences aesthetically look better without it. That, of course, is only something useful in applications such as marketing, not the general writing of text.

Or y'all can stop writing ambiguously worded sentences

Now the sentence is 10 times better because you're better off with no commas at all, most of the time.

I'm pro Oxford Comma when necessary to make the sentence make sense. Otherwise I don't like it. Also I had no idea it had a name.

ARGH I feel horrible right now. This flu is one of the worse I've ever had. It doesn't help when I'm trying to play CS:GO competitive either. Just makes it depressing when you get some guy trying to derank for whatever dumb reason. I JUST WANT TO GET 10 WINS SO I GET A SKILL GROUP.

Also I find it annoying that people refer to skill groups as ranks. Ranks are the number representing your total XP level (i.e. I'm rank 6, and have no skill group yet).

Going to go to bed now so I can just get some sleep and so tomorrow comes sooner so I can be feeling not horrible and play CS:GO again. Massively addicted to that game since a couple of weeks ago.

Ever noticed it's fun to watch your own fingers dance across the keyboard whilst typing when you're a good typist that doesn't do standard touch-typing? Quite weird actually because while you're watching your fingers you tend to type more accurately because you can see where your fingers actually are. It's amazing how our brains learn things.

I'm rambling. Stupid illness.

alright, typing now just to look at it. Yeah, it is pretty interesting! Especially My left hand, since with it, I use exclusively the index finger, and I reach it as far across as the G key. The other hand I use more fingers with, so it doesn't have to move as far. For someone with OCD like me, that typing arrangement is pretty odd indeed. But it is speedy! Faster than most people I know.

I never look down at my fingers when I type. I always look at the screen so I can catch any typos as quickly as possible.

This is a video of me typing at 106 WPM (541 CPM) using the 10 finger system on a QWERTZ keyboard.

How does what you highlighted show that they have crappy security? All you've shown is a phishing email and a weird looking email address?

Perhaps if you read the weird looking email address with for security reasons the omitted domain name... you might understand why... to be fair I have not included the extra stuff I posted on Facebook I figured people on here could put 2 and 2 together [ No offence intended at you or anybody there just figured it was an easy shot and guess I supposed wrong... ]

Basically I use Individual email accounts for all and every websites I sign up for, especially ones which I have to use payment methods with... this allows me to isolate incidents such as this, where such an email address would unlikely be easy to guess without being at the end of the company the email address was used for... [note that the inbox does not exist for this email address, also note this was more detail than what I posted to Facebook ] so basically I know that, that company has a security lapse in their systems somewhere... which being such a big company... this is worrying if someone was able to grab hold of their emails, or worse, they sell these details to viral companies/groups... we are talking millions, not thousands of valid email addresses...

Yea, I do the same. I think I may even be a little bit slower when I look at the keyboard. It is fun to look at though

Quote: "This is a video of me typing at 106 WPM (541 CPM) using the 10 finger system on a QWERTZ keyboard."

104 WPM is impressive I think I got ~80-90 last time I tested it.

Also, I have never heard of the QWERTZ layout and I thought you used DVORAK?

Naturally,of course. That explains why there are some typos in my previous post.

Last time I tested, I was getting about 1 word per minute or so. Really fast!

@TheComet: (or everyone else actually)
Well if you insist I shall also post my typing skillz video from a few month ago as well... behold:


Yes, I type like that all the time. Even right now. Works best on flat keyboards (chiclet style), and I actually like my Cherry KC 1000 (though it's cheap).

Why, you ask? Why not?! Actually I just never learned to type properly. I just taught myself this. I can type stuff while keeping my right hand on the mouse too! Doing that here and now, no issues. :3

And no, most of the time I don't look down actually. Sometimes I hit the wrong keys and it's generally easier with some split-second downward glancing but it works either way!

Yup, I'm weird. Carry on with this thread, I'll not look at it again for another 50 or 100 pages (or 5000!) xD
actually I'll come back to check for responses to this

Edit: And don't mind the weird faces at the beginning and end, the video was meant for TheComet originally, as an unlisted upload! xD
Plus it was made by pointing one laptop (netbook) with the webcam on at another laptop. Cuz' I didn't have anything else to film with. ^^'

You gave us literally nothing to put together. You gave us 1 and 0 and expected 4. Phishing attempts are nothing new, and without some background we can make no assumptions about the targeted address.

In any case, it appears Booking.com got hacked a couple of months ago. That's probably how they got your email address. Case solved.

Clearly a Phishing Email, Sent to an email account by the same name of the originator name [That was a hard bit actually but possible...]

But yeah I know about them being hacked... pretty sure they were hacked last year too...

I've never been super fast at typing, I usually get between 57-100WPM depending on how motivated I am and such.

But also I switch keyboards frequently and that makes a huge impact on it as well. This keyboard's keys are really weird and kind of feel like they get stuck, quite infuriating but still an improvement over my last keyboard.

Thankfully, I'm pretty sure my gf is buying me this keyboard for my birthday so I hope that improves my typing speed!

Yeah I get around 50 words per minute (~250 keystrokes) on average too with my technique. But that's on a typing test where I have to look at the random words on screen and type them in, I feel like I would do much better if I was allowed to type words straight from my brain instead of having to react to what's on screen... (and if I know what i wanna type and want to avoid typos I'll look at the keyboard instead of the screen)

I just got 85 WPM on http://www.spikex.net/FreeformWPM/ by just typing some nonsensical paragraph while trying to not to stop to think about it xD (i.e. as fast as I possibly can)
(what I typed is below for anyone interested in nonsense )

Got some typos in there too.

I have heard some good things about that keyboard. I prefer blue or brown switches over red or black though.

I think I will build my own custom keyboard soon. As long as I can find a retailer with a good price for the cherry switches

That is one bizarre "glitch"

It *almost* looks like you're telling RedFlames to check his email/personal messages. I'm not sure if the message isn't quite obvious enough or not

Or it's just a coincidence and the positioning is completely random haha.

So I'm making a Breakout game with AppGameKit (Again! ), but it will have three different modes.

Classic - Classic Breakout, made very much to look like the original Atari version.

Endless Breakout - Each time you clear the level it randomly regenerates and the ball doubles its speed. Will feature lots of enemies/obstacles.

Brutal Breakout - A twist on Classic, this mode will show no mercy. Each time you miss the ball the level will RESTART in its entirety. 10+ levels in total, will you be able to clear them all? And just to add more frustration, if you miss the ball in subsequent levels you will RESTART from the very beginning. Yes I am evil but the levels will be quite easy to win, maybe.

Actually, this is pretty cool because you can do something like:

Wow, just reinstalled Windows 7! I had to restart yesterday, and the stupid thing auto installed updates (at least the restart was on my terms); said updates completely screwed up the audio drivers. It sounded like I was listening to everything through a funnel. I tried every imaginable combination of updating, rolling back, installing, reinstalling, uninstalling, disabling, etc drivers, and nothing was working. I had been wanting to do a full reinstall for a while too, so I decided to just do it.

It was pretty responsive before the reinstall; now it's nearly instant. Windows 10 can wait.

Woo! I finally managed to get a skill group in CS:GO after playing 9 wins and 1 tie!



I'm so happy I'm GN1 right from the get-go! I don't have to be a silver scrub! Of course, I might get deranked on the next match, who knows, but for now at least I'm a decent player
