I am currently writing for a publication that mandates the Ox comma … and while before I was somewhat indifferent to it … this work is making me detest it. 🤷🤓

Apparently M-W recommends “wineglass,” though I don’t think I’d ever seen or used it before this thread

At the highest levels of soccer, the backups are guys who could be starters for many lesser teams… maybe that’s the needed mentality, i.e., backups should be expected to play 30-40% of snaps, even if starters are healthy.

Not sure if this is a serious question or not, but if it is, my understanding is that “white“ has a history of being used to describe things that are pale or light in color, even when they are not actually white… such as white pepper.

But also I am up for using “yellow wine” from now on.

The most interesting aspect for me is that, according to the author, she apparently appeals to people who don’t want to “feel like they’re being sold to.”

Is she running a business or not? I guess she just has a gimmick you fell for?

Who wouldn’t want to be known for sandwiches?
