@GrammarTable I'd say, "I wish I'd waited..."

@WalmartCanada .../3 because I didn't call them (!) before I put the order in. Now I've forfeited all 4 promo codes, losing $60. This is terrible customer service. p.s. When you check in for groceries on the app, the button takes you to the https://t.co/wxUuVGEHpx splash page, also useless.

@WalmartCanada @WalmartCanada, your ecommerce experience is dreadful. You can't verify your phone number -- I got an error message (tried for 3 weeks). You can't use the promo code for discount more than once. (It says you can use it 4 times.) And you can't reach customer service -- .../2

[Sherry Hinman @sherryhinman]

@WalmartCanada .../2 No one answers the phone. (I tried several times, giving up after 30 minutes.) There's no email. And the chat program is broken. When I finally got a person on the chat, she told me it was my fault I couldn't use the promo code because .../3

@PalaeoCory Same -- usually between 120 and 130%

[Sherry Hinman @sherryhinman]

@KevinTCraig Yes, yes, it's damn good!

@GrammarTable What if you're referring to only one or two of the triplets? You'd still call them triplets, right? I think there's a circumstance when you'd word it this way, though I'm sure the context you took this from made it obvious without the "three." (Right?) 🙂

[Sherry Hinman @sherryhinman]

@BCDreyer Beautiful piece. Some things just weren't meant to fit into one word.

[Sherry Hinman @sherryhinman]

@BCDreyer @PreetBharara and plea :)

[Sherry Hinman @sherryhinman]

@nilikm Thank you for speaking out on CBC and for making all the points I've been thinking since this morning's announcement. I'm not sure how you stayed so calm! 🙄

@GrammarTable Funny, I've only ever heard it used in French (pronounced "shishi").

@DebAmlen Are we guessing your password?

@edyong209 Thank you -- excellent article. Our son is immunocompromised due to medication and it never occurred to me that he might not respond to the COVID vaccine. He's had four doses (in Canada). Let's hope your article raises awareness. Much appreciated.

@AdeleVarens En-dash

@rozmacq @gezlospecial I ordered one and love it! It's true that it's not glass, but it looks lovely in the window with the light coming through.

[Sherry Hinman @sherryhinman]

@GrammarTable Two or three, depending on whether the document uses the series comma. None needed for the start of the sentence, just the list.

@jkwan_md Same experience in Durham Region, in Ontario -- at Lakeridge Health Oshawa and at a clinic in Pickering, I was made to wear a surgical mask instead of my N95. (At the clinic, I was allowed to put the surgical mask over my N95.) I always say something, but it doesn't seem to help.

[Sherry Hinman @sherryhinman]

@GrammarTable @RachelEugster Agreed. The phrase (as is) represents a lot of people, not just one.

[Sherry Hinman @sherryhinman]

@imgrund @DDSBSchools Durham Region has stopped reporting hospitalizations and ICU numbers. Not sure if this is related to the above. https://t.co/p89BSPmdHA

[Sherry Hinman @sherryhinman]

@imgrund @masks4allCanada They're tough to get. They were sold out, and I was on a list to be notified when more came in. Got the email and by the time I clicked on the link, they were sold out again. Got some here instead: https://t.co/ivsuGEULWh
