Jug	16 March 2022, 6:04	I must be tired. BTW is a prepositional phrase. Last line should read, "Yes, now it's okay ...
Jug	16 March 2022, 2:36	I thought it was a percolator; which BTW, makes the best coffee. English Teacher comment: I thought it was a percolator, which, BTW, makes the best coffee. (BTW is a participle phrase, and thus has commas on either side.) - OR - I thought it was a percolator. That makes the best coffee. ("That" is the subject in the second example.) "I thought it was a percolator. BTW, it makes the best coffee." This is also acceptable. All that to say that current grammarian thought is to remove as many commas as possible. The adage is, "if you have to breathe to emphasize it specifically, put a comma in. Otherwise, don't." Yes, now it okay to end a sentence in a preposition.

Ostrich with Head in Sand	7 March 2022, 19:10	Great puzzle, Mindscrub! Did you know that ostriches really don't put their head in the sand?

Wolf	2 March 2022, 21:03	anikina2021, you have created wonderful puzzles. Do not let the current comments keep you from showing your artistry.
Wolf	2 March 2022, 21:01	Again, Nono-Gram, I believe we should pray for Ukraine, as well as Russia. It is not pooping on anyone's floor to pray. I pray for peace & an early resolution to this conflict/war. I am sad to hear that you, Nono-Gram, would suggest it is in extremely bad taste. You are generally upbeat, complimentary, & seeing the potential good in people. I do not think most of us wish for war. And I don't see how JLB's comments were against Russia. I think we are all thankful that this Russian website is providing us much fun.
Cat	2 March 2022, 20:53	My favorite subject (the puzzle, not war).
Cat	2 March 2022, 20:52	I believe we should pray for Ukraine, as well as Russia. It is not pooping on anyone's floor to pray. I pray for peace & an early resolution to this conflict/war. I am sad to hear that you, Nono-Gram, would suggest it is in extremely bad taste. You are generally upbeat, complimentary, & seeing the potential good in people.

Stingray	1 March 2022, 12:35	Not at all like the ones I saw in the ocean, but there must be many kinds.
Explosion	1 March 2022, 12:20	"This is your brain on drugs." Would make a great poster for that saying.
Explosion	1 March 2022, 12:18	Groan :-)
Shell	1 March 2022, 12:03	Looked like hair to me at first. Women who have very long tresses, Don't need to wear very long dresses.
