I'd never heard of the Cambridge or Princeton commas. Assuming this isn't just a joke and they really exist, they can both go fuck themselves. Also that Cornell, needs to be a semicolon.

Time to make a new text expansion: “ “=“, ” This way, every time you hit space, you also get a comma.
Yale, I beg you, please turn your "Yale Comma" into a Yale Colon
“Yale Colon” seems like something you get first year by eating in Connecticut
Whoever wrote the explanation for this one went ALL OUT. Seriously impressive.
for example, the very idea of a "Brown comma" might more readily resonate with the concept of the Brown note.
Whoever it was, well played.
Put them all together to summon Christopher Walken!
I once had a "roommate"* for several months that did a ridiculously good Walken impersonation. Like, good enough that if you recorded it and played it back to back with a real Walken recording, it would be extremely difficult to tell them apart.
The problem was, he would do this constantly. Sometimes going days in end refusing to speak normally. I once overhear him dirty talking to himself while masturbating and using the voice. It was awful.
*Very long, funny-in-the-telling type of story that was genuinely fucking awful
Are you sure your roommate wasn't Christopher Walken?
Oh, God, that would have been so much better. He was truly awful. Like, honestly, just the absolute worst. Tried to get me murdered once, too.
mac, and, cheese
