Where am I? What turn is it?
So, earlier today I nearly caused a thread (in CiVI - Gen Discussion: All Leader Portraits) to need to be closed for getting off topic. I claimed that the Deluxe Edition description saying "new maps, scenarios, civilizations and leaders" caused me to assume that "civilizations and leaders" were a single clause, and thus that it didn't make multiple leaders per civ more likely. What (perhaps inevitably) followed was an off-topic discussion on punctuation, which saw two mod warnings before it came to an end.
Curious what you all think, I thought I would bring it to the off topic area, and see how you all feel.
A quick example for both sides (not originally mine, edited for possible age appropriate issues):
Pro:
"I spent last night with the women, JFK and Stalin" (no comma, possibly implies JFK and Stalin are women) vs. "I spent last night with the women, JFK, and Stalin" (comma, clarity)
Con:
"I spent last night with the woman, JFK, and Stalin" (comma, possibly implies JFK is a woman) vs. "I spent last night with the woman, JFK and Stalin" (no comma, clarity)
