Oh, and by the way, when we were working on this project we learned about a phenomenon called Hartman’s Law of Prescriptivist Retaliation (we know, right?). Basically the law holds that when writing about punctuation and grammar, it is inevitable that the writer will make an error in….punctuation and grammar. We worked really hard to avoid errors but if you find one, please forgive us. We’re only human.
