This word bothers me...

Now this issue has been resolved, can somebody define the word "pwnage"?

"Pwnage" is gamer slang for saying "you got owned". It started because the O and P keys are next to each other on the keyboard and when typing in fast paced games the P would sometimes be hit instead of the O when typing "ownage" or "owned". Now it has become adopted as the accepted slang spelling and has spawned other derivatives including "wtfpwned".

But what if I ask, "Did you say, "My teacher always said "the punctuation goes inside the quote."?"?

So how do you feel about the Oxford comma?

Resistance is Futile.

I thought it was voltage divided by current.

I'm not sure it matters if there's no armed panda or grandma didn't come to dinner.

Here is my personal take on the three words in question: "ohmage", "resistance" and "impedance". Resistance is a simple number that normally applies to DC (non-phased) circuits and is measured in Ohms. Impedance is a complex number that normally applies to AC (phased) circuits and is also measured in Ohms. Ohmage is a generic word used to describe the measured or calculated Resistance of a DC Circuit OR the measured or calculated Impedance of an AC circuit. Since Ohmage is the generic version of these words it is generally less used in favor of one of the more specific words. This does not meant that it is incorrect, slang, or wrong.

Woah youre getting personal now, better attenuate that

I use the Oxford comma when I feel like it, when I want, and pretty much always.
And thanks for bringing that up, I didn't know it actually had name.

It's sometimes called a "serial comma."

I've often been told there isn't supposed to be a comma there, and I'm like "What? That's absurd.".1?.

"...and, I'm like..." bothers me more. What are you like?

I had to look that one up. Never heard of 'Oxford comma' before. I remember being told in school that it was optional.

A honey badger, of course.

Ohm My Gosh.
Watt (what?) divided by Voltage is Futile. Or at least impeded.
Do not rely on a Webster App or you'll be Pwned by an Oxford, comma.
