    It should be: “I know, right?” Commas remain useful.

      I know. It actively aggravates me when people don’t use any punctuation. Written English is poor enough already at conveying tone and emotion. Stop making it worse.

        English offers 500k words… if we are lacking tonal expression, I’m included to believe it’s us and not the idiom.

            It’s also autocorrect and laziness… I meant inclined… but somehow included was left. Ergh. I think they are counting ergh in the 500K.

        My wife is in a polycule and she acts like I’m a moron whenever I ask her what that is. I think it is something like a European comma.

        Hardly ever see her these days.
