I googled conker and am still not 100% sure I know what it means. A game involving chestnuts?

A friend of a friend, named Melanie, wore the same jeans all the time as a teen. My friend's dad nicknamed her "Unchanged Melanie", in a nod to the Righteous Brothers classic, Unchained Melody.

Stone Age: We made this thing extinct one at a time by inventing a better way to throw darts.

Early Modern: We hath mayde these thinges extincte by bringing cattes whence there should nought be cattes.

Whoops, sorry.

Personally, I use commas when the “too” is in the middle of the sentence, but not at the end:

“I, too, will have what she’s having.”

In the middle, I think the commas make it less likely the reader will have to read the sentence more than once to understand it. At the end, not so much.

Perhaps because writers have very little power. Especially right now, when actual paying jobs in journalism are disappearing at an incredible rate. “You got a problem with how we do headlines here at Legacy Magazine? I can replace you tomorrow with someone who doesn’t.”

Most of the Barilla pasta sold in the U.S. is made in Ames, Iowa and Avon, NY. Do you know if the gluten-free kind has “Made in Italy” on the box? If not, you should be okay.

This is Fred.

Thanks!

For me, there’s two feelings. One feels like trying to push a huge boulder up a hill—my body is telling me this is impossible, hopeless. The other feels like needing to do something that really grosses me out—my body is telling me it really desperately does not want to do this and wants to run away.

Your theory assumes someone at the newspaper is purposely writing headlines to brainwash people while also dissuading them from reading any further—that instead of click bait, they’re doing click repellent. So… is the whole copy desk in on this devious and idiotic conspiracy to drive away readers?
