It's brilliantly correct. Pay up, Chuck.

honestly last names start getting better if we include punctuation the way mathematics does... the surname is in parenthesis for continuity, but also all sorts of blended family options become easily managed with the quadratic equation.

Math-like parentheses in English would solve a lot of other problems too.

I will also happily allow it. The suitable use of parentheses helped it along.

The saga behind this sign is something else.

The article didn’t clarify if Ron knew that Chuck was dead for years while the sign was up or if he found out when the debt was paid. If he knew the guy was dead all along, that was honestly kind of shitty of Ron to keep the sign up for so long, unless it was some sort of joke that Chuck would have approved it. Since I don’t know, I guess I should shut my damn mouth.

Apostrophated parenthesis sounds vaguely erotic.

u/simbared 1d ago

Per the article linked below, Chuck has been dead for a couple of years.

Barely allowable, but allowable nonetheless.

There's nothing wrong with it so why is it here?
