I absolutely hate that this tweet is how I found out Dune 2 is delayed.

[Josh RR Jokien @joshcarlosjosh]

[youth pastor voice] kids, dune 2 has been delayed until 2024, but nothing's stopping you from dune 2 others as you would have them dune 2 you right now

@Nagem21 We got up to watch the game and afterward kinda wished we hadn't

@JasonKohls @michaela_e @MrsHannaLehr @SJNeill13 I got curious and tried to see if any manuals have something on this. Apparently Chicago manual says to rewrite the sentence. I agree with @michaela_e. It works in speech, but I don't think there's a good way to write it formally

[Andrew Bauer @androo88]

@JasonKohls @GreenDay I'd read it. Love the idea
