⁦@hareematifkhan⁩ Really enjoyed your 15m session on grammar yesterday. Your “comma hand” reminded me of these VB sketches on phonetic punctuation which are great for Nat’l Punctuation Day in September. https://t.co/tI61NzaTFF https://t.co/Qj0lt3dPoP

@dpeterfreund Yes. Texas.

@MLConklin Same. It’s a whopper. I think I’m on day 9.

@42jwallen @erinentrada Second this selection - it was going to be my suggestion we’re it not already on the list. Excellent characters, GREAT story - and the best kind of cry. So so good.

@LaurelSnyder Yep - for sure seems like things got kicked up a notch lately. Repeated letters last week were my nemesis … I’m just waiting for a word like “level” to completely undo me.

@emilyfavreau Connecting flight with layover … when I travelled with my son at that age, the fewer transitions, the better. (There’s a whole backstory there, but the shirt version, most salient point is this: if it were me, I’d take the red eye.)

@Jarrett_Lerner This one may not be exactly what you’re describing but it instantly popped in my mind after reading your post - and it’s been YEARS since we’ve read it (now that my guy is 13)

My favorite thing from watching Olympics this weekend: the word “monobob” — that it exists makes me happy. 🤓🤓🤓 #todaysdelight
