It was midnight and a few beers after celebrating a birthday. I'm sorry I offended your grammatical sensibilities. But you really did go full orange site there, didn't you! I will admit to misquoting Mike Tyson; "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.", which I hope goes someway to restoring peace and order over a tiny, drunken grammatical slip-up.

Oh, I wasn't offended at all. I am not one of these Oxford comma type of people (I think that was a trend on Twitter a while ago). I have no idea what that means, except maybe it is about grammatical correctness, and I am not going to google it. :)

I was just being a little pedantic for fun. I don't do that often.

So peace and order was not even disturbed, at least for me.

Enjoy.

BTW, looks like you could deploy my new SaaS at the end of your above comment, for great good:

BTW, what is "orange site"?

I googled it and at least the top few links don't seem relevant.

This site's default theme is orange.

Thanks, but I knew that, and it does not seem to answer my question, unless I didn't get what you meant.

My question was in reply to the comment above by sbuk, excerpted below:

This site is the “orange site”. The comment is saying that the gray text comment behaved like some people on this site behave; a behavior which people associate with this site. I think it can be described as overly nit-picky, but that’s an incomplete description.
