Has The Lack Of A Comma In ‘Keep Reading Bitches’ Ever Annoyed Anybody But Me?

For the record, ‘Keep Reading Bitches’ and ‘Keep Reading, Bitches’ do not mean the same thing. It may seem like nitpicking or writer snobbery to even bring it up, but that one comma makes a huge difference in who’s the “Bitch” in this situation.

“Keep Reading Bitches” means that you’re currently reading Bitches, and by clicking you’re saying you’d like to continue reading Bitches. Whether that’s implying that the content of the blog is Bitches or if us the writers are Bitches is up to you, but to me it’s always sounded like Barstool calling me a Bitch.

“Keep Reading, Bitches” means that you, the Bitches, should click to continue reading. This is what Pres meant when he created it as the ‘next page’ button. You guys are the Bitches, and if your bitch-ass wants to continuing reading you have to click and admit to your bitchness. I like this one much better.

Will it ever get fixed — who knows. But I’m just curious if anyone else has noticed this small difference.

Has the lack of a comma in “Keep Reading Bitches” ever bothered you?

I guess I never really noticed it until now, and now it's bothering me. Are you really surprised there's grammar errors in Pres' writing though?

Bothers me every day and twice on Sundays. Add these to the list:- failure properly to use their / there / they're - failure properly to use your / you're - use of "I could care less" instead of the proper "I could not care less."Anyone who can't get these straight is retarded and should kill himself.By the way: You fucked up in using single quotation marks in the title. Should have been "Keep Reading Bitches," not 'Keep Reading Bitches.' Only use the latter inside the former, i.e., for a quote within a quote. You're welcome. Carry on.

Drives me fucking nuts! I always wondered if this was Prez thinking he was being funny, or him showing the true value of a U of M education. Well Mo, thanks for answering the question I never bothered to ask.

It can't have bothered you enough. Its an apostrophe, not a comma. If you are going to make a fucking blog about it, get it the fuck right.

Mo pandering to the nerds in the comment section. The only thing that annoys me is the lack of humor in your blogs.

That's bothered me since the day I first heard about barstool and it's always been in the back of my mind every time I come here @carlsweetchuck, I couldn't agree with you more on points 1 and 2. It's as if people dropped out of school in the third grade. I'm more forgiving with the third point but that one also annoys the hell out of me

Hey wolfe you are a fucking retard. In no way, shape, or form does an apostrophe come into play in what he is talking about.

It always bothered me that the Marry, Fuck, Kill segments write "Merry" instead of "Marry" which pretty much makes the whole thing fucking retarded.
