    I sometime write where I suddenly see a novel going right here in the comment area so the BBcode can direct my spelling.

    I don't understand grammar as much as software like Grammarly does but I really ought to do a course in proof reading.

    That would spell death to all comedy and satire, for its nearly impossible to be funny without offending someone. I should know because of the hatemail I've received from evangalical and trump lovers for this, my final chapter of Adholes



    But Truth is my master and I will always tell it as best I see it. Then again Mark Twain did warn me in saying, "Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.

    Producing comedy has always been a dangerous business, such as when you have to explain yourself to someone who can't take a joke that "I was only kidding." However, I am not kidding, for we have become so conditioned by Adholes, politicians, and religious intuitions to expect lies, it is funny to hear the truth.

    Therefore you can trust me explicitly. It's those people who lie half the time who can't be trusted at all.

    Its not about trust, the fucking words themselves are from another dimensions, not of sight and sound... and they're here to suck your mind dry!

    My guess would be no, but anything's possible.

    Is this tongue&cheek? I would only use good in dialogue.
    Point 1. Maybe for the title of your work but not in the text.
    Point 4. Ampersands are preferred when referring to dual authorship of a work.Some businesses will use an ampersand in their name.

    EDIT: Point 9. There are certain modes of writing where exaggeration is inappropriate such as news reporting. However there are other modes of writing where it may be appropriate such as the autobiographical works of Clive James where he blended hyperbole with flowery language to a humorous effect.

    The Four Yorkshiremen sketch frequently performed by members of Monty Python but originally performed on the At Last The 1948 Show makes fun competitive exaggeration and inverted snobbery. There are numerous versions on Youtube.
