Mourning man lies in own grave, and waits to die
(For the record, I am against that comma.)
It is an inexcusable comma.
yes! yes! more dashes!
you know though that the linearity of all this is broken. he’s waiting in other places, too. i thought of rising to the comma’s defense on that ground. i think i could at least bargain its sentence down.
Actually, I’d argue that the ‘and’ should be removed.
That would work too. Say, how do you feel about this hyphen?
I’d feel a lot better if I didn’t live in a country where the un-hyphenated word (okay, ‘émail‘) also means enamel.
