She prefers the Oxford Comma and advocates for it in the book.

It's a brilliant book! It should be mandatory reading in all schools.

You don't need the quotes around her name.
It's actually her name and correct title.
The quotes give an air-quotes sarcastic feel, which I don't think you intend.

Reply to Having a day off to do nothing is considered bad if you’re depressed but good if you’re not depressed by themetahumancrusader
Can confirm.
I look forward to the weekends, and then on a Saturday I sit and mope all day.
I both like having time to do nothing and hate having nothing to do.

Reply to comment by Adghar in ELI5: How does ChatGPT work? by Zurbinjo
It's important to note that ChatGPT doesn't "understand" things in the same way we do, and doesn't "think". So it does tends to get a lot of stuff wrong.
That being said, it's quite a good bit better than previous attempts at similar things.

Bob was a average guy living an average life in a standard and very average little town in the middle of the countryside.
Bob, though, was left-handed.

This is really common. And it's been great for people receiving transplants.
The premise is that if you need a kidney, a family member would generally be more than willing to donate to you. But they might not be a match.
So instead the family members details go into a database, and a chain or loop is established -- their kidney goes to family A, whose kidney goes to family B, whose kidney goes to C, ..., and you receive family X's kidney.
All of these people are donating to strangers, and thus getting a kidney for their own loved one. Basically they donated a kidney for their loved one instead of to their loved one. But their loved one gets a kidney, and gets a huge improvement to their lives.
It's a fantastic system.

If I had to choose, it would still be both. Both are needed in order to understand the significance of each. Without both I just assume someone it using a half-truth to over- or under-state something intentionally.

Half way through dialing: "fuck this" jumps
Stupid jokes aside, having a 3 digit number does make the number easier to remember. Plus there was a lot of media attention around this, and a good amount of advertising.
It's great to see such a positive thing.

They need to give both.
A 42% increase on 100 calls is only 42 more calls.
A half million increase on 10 million is only a 5% increase.
Both numbers are needed: "...half a million more calls, a 42% increase, since..."

If someone has already read and summarised it, it's less ads and cookie-gates that one has to get through to get the information.
