How Much Does Kat Pay Attention To Grammar?

Now, I'm no English major - so this could be me thinking too hard into it (and being wrong). But, Kat wrote in her post "mid-week tweet".

Now, without a comma before 'tweet', doesn't what she wrote mean that we are getting a TWEET this mid-week, and not necessarily news. Like, for example, "Tweet, update your memberships, tweet".

Or, was the bird saying "mid-week, tweet', meaning that mid-week we are getting news, and the tweet at the end was just the bird making noise?

Is anyone following me?

    It's been my experience that Kat's grammar and spelling have been nearly perfect. :) She kind of rocks the English language. :D

    Exactly as she said it... a mid-week tweet, as opposed to a Monday tweet or an evening tweet. Understand Tweet as you wish.
  • Now, if you could run that by me one more time, and be coherent, then I think I will be able to grasp the concept at some minimal level.

    I think what he was saying is the way it is worded it could mean this was not a tweet and to expect a tweek midweek, or this is the tweek to let you know that there wil be an announcement midweek.

    I thought what you said the first time was right. She was using "Tweet" as an actual noun, hence "mid-week tweet".

    I could be wrong I guess...

    fairly confident there is no magic to it...announcement should be interpreted as follows "shit going down middle of next week" - as for "middle", likely Wednesday. I am one for puzzles and games but...I don't think there is anything there - still wonder about the lack of "make sure your memberships are up-to-date" note.

  • I'm still wondering why she added a hyphen to "midweek."

    I'm from Slovenia and English is my foreign language and I don't know all of the rules- but - I'm quite sure that Kat meant tweet as a noun..so "mid-week tweet" in meaning is the same as "mid-week message from the bird". I think if it was with a coma > then it would have been bird's sound.
    So everything is fine.

    Nice explanation. Maybe we should get you to interpret all the 10c's code.
