I figured this was going to be somebody wanting to talk about his politics or something like that but no it's just a pedantic Englishman pissed that people are using the wrong title
to be fair, pedantry is one of our key exports
Capital T.
Sincerest apologies m'kind fellow!
Put a comma after "apologies".
Punctuation goes inside of quotes, "like this."
Only if it's part of the quote. In this case, because "apologies" wasn't followed by a full stop, it doesn't go within the quotation marks.
pedancy talk aside this is like the most inconsistent rule in all of writing hahhah
even the oxford comma is less debated than punctuation in quotes
I just select my precepts from the arguments on offer and try to rigidly stick to them.
PedanTry?
Your T is already capital!
And we love you for it! My current favorite YouTuber is doing a "Star Trek Reviewed by a pedant" https://youtube.com/@unlimited_lives?si=h3DEcI8wWpVj-MgK
haaa this is brill
Why bother getting to know their politics? The UK has been going through Prime Ministers faster than McDonalds fry cooks.

Not to mention cabbages.
That always ends up happening. Whenever a government has being in power for too long they start to break into 90 different factions and spend their entire time fighting each other, and not getting anything else done.
Also a certain group of the Conservatives have started to play by the Republican Party playbook, while the rest of them are politely asking if maybe they could not be fascists? Of course appeasement never works so apparently the next best option is to have giant arguments about it and replace the PM every 10 minutes.
Fortunately Labour are another party, and regardless of what you think about them as a party, they are at least different and are less fractional currently, so perhaps now we can get something done.
