See, but that’s fiction, and poetry, and made up words can be used however the maker-upper sees fit. Unlike real words and sentences, which have rules. It is a frabjous day, indeed, when someone properly invokes the Oxford comma…
Nice build, tho… yours?

Didn’t mean it as pointing fingers at you (or anyone), just defending myself that sometimes, my being a stickler is for the best…
Also – I’m proud that you caught your own typos after sleeping on it and proofreading!

But in this context, on this thread, I thought it was obvious. Especially since I already linked the source material, see?
