Looks innocuous enough at first glance right? Let's zoom in on the problem:

These don't go together. If the semicircle on the left is correct, then this is showing moon phases, and the symbol on the right should be of a gibbous moon:

If the cookie-with-a-bite-taken-out in the right is correct, then this is showing an eclipse, and the symbol on the left should be of a 50% partial eclipse:

It drives me crazy every time I look at it.

My wife bought a candle with a label stating "I'm glad you're as weird as me."

I try to avoid being the grammar police in general, but it's right in front of where my eyes usually go when I pee, so it's hard to ignore.

well, who really says "I'm glad you're as weird as I" ? Might not be room for an 'am'.

[–] toynbee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I 100% have said that exact sentence and other grammatically similar ones.

I acknowledge, in the spirit of this conversation, that the previous sentence should probably have one to two commas in it. However, I'm not adding them since I'm very tired and the post probably won't be placed above anyone's toilet for frequent observation.

I also acknowledge that typing that was probably a lot more effort than adding one to two commas.

I enjoy using semicolons. They're very useful. I consider them to be a comma-chameleon.
