RACOONS close the dumpster lid.
It makes me smile everytime I see it.

RACOONS close the dumpster lid.

That's why you'll never see a woman married to a racoon. They always leave the lid up. They being racoons, not women.

How 1 Missing Comma Just Cost This Company $5 Million (but Did Make Its Employees $5 Million Richer)
Truck drivers felt they were owed overtime pay. The company disagreed. A missing comma in a labor law decided the case.

- Meat and fish products; and
- Perishable foods
Where's the error in this report?
How about "and" vs. "or"?
"since "packing for shipment" and "distribution" were not separated by a comma, that made them a single activity."
"Packing for shipment" AND "distribution"."
OR
"Packing for shipment" OR "distribution"
It seems the reporter and/or the editor mis-typed THE key element.

LOL... so I had to go looking and found these
This example is a hilarious comma mistake from a genuine restaurant menu!
“Goats cheese salad ingredients: lettuce, tomato, goats, cheese”
This brilliant funny grammar mistake comes from a real road sign, which instead of warning motorists to kill their speed because of children crossing the road, instead warns of unusually snail-paced children in the area!
“Slow children crossing”
Of course you can also prevent children from crossing

I think I have posted this before, but the name of my first band was Slow Children At Play. We had a logo like the crossing sign above. It was a few years later that I wondered if we should have had a comma, and more importantly, where it would be most accurately placed.
My point exactly, but it was never written out, only seen in the logo.Maybe it was correct as written
SLOW
CHILDREN
AT
PLAY
You should never generalize women.
It's wrong to make broad assumptions.

Monday announced the nomination of two women to lead US military commands, who will be only the second and third women to hold such senior military positions in the United States.
US Air Force General Jacqueline Van Ovost, the only woman to have reached the rank of four-star general, the military’s highest, was nominated to head Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM).
Three-star army general Laura Richardson was nominated to lead Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), which covers Central and Latin America. She will also receive her fourth star.
If the Senate confirms their nominations, then Van Ovost and Richardson will follow Lori Robinson, who was the first woman to helm a military command. She led Northern Command (NORTHCOM) before retiring in 2018

I wonder if they also Admiralize?
