    "Then there is the other secret. There isn't any symbolysm [sic]. The sea is the sea. The old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark are all sharks no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know." -Ernest Hemingway Now quit fucking telling me Manolin is Jesus.

    Speaking about English, my SAT (Mexican) teacher told me: "Nate is a faggot, but Strat is a douche." is proper English, as opposed to "Nate is a faggot but Strat is a douche." Now, dont you only use commas for listing things? Im completely serious btw.

    There are no steadfast rules for that kind of stuff, it's preference For example, the oxford comma: --Colin is poor, ugly, and stupid. vs --Colin is poor, ugly and stupid. Do you use a comma before and? Some say yes and some say no, it's all preference really

    I like long walks on the beach, nights on the town, and Oxford commas.

    I feel like this would be the title of your autobiography. That or "This is what happens when you never practice"

    symbolism and foreshadowing is how old white people poke fun at the young.
