[SPOILERS FOLLOW, I guess]
Oh, this is going to be good. I'm glad the ",--" punctuation sequence
is coming back into style; I was reading Sterne last year, who uses
lots of ",--" and ";--", and I missed them in modern writing.
Is "rythmic" included in the "(sic)"?
I hope the incessant noun-capitalization doesn't get too annoying (and
you can bet that everyone on the list will start writing like that,
having exhausted the possibilities of "a-and" some years ago") - kind
of odd that a couple nouns remain lowered, e.g., shoes.
It's becoming more clear that I have to take April 30 as a vacation
day.
