I bet Harvard is pretty pissed it doesn’t have a comma named after it.

@Girl_a_whirl if they have a football team they probably have a coma named after it at least 🤷‍♀️

@Girl_a_whirl Harvard seems more like a place that identifies with the colon.

@Girl_a_whirl why not the famous Harvard colon?

@Girl_a_whirl Maybe they'll name something after Harvard 400+ years after it was founded, like the comma as we know it. Any decade now.😀

@Girl_a_whirl After all their capitulation to the Pigs, Harvard doesn't deserve half a quotation mark.

@Girl_a_whirl For additional salt, why not name a coma after Harvard?

@Girl_a_whirl Sure it does. It's the one in the students' loan balance.

It's the Harvard hash (#); the character before 3 pairs of hex digits, describing an RGB colour, and as distinct from the pound sign (also #) but which means 'number', not 'lbs' and not the £(GB pound)

It's what I do (sometimes 😇); plausible sounding 'it COULD be a fact' facts. A lot subtler and fun than Trumpian streams of un-consciousness!

@Girl_a_whirl Some people refer to the trailing comma after the last item of a list (as in “1, 2, 3,”), used to improve editability of code, as the “MIT comma”

@Girl_a_whirl Harvard has always been jealous of "Oxford,".
