    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?

    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.
    The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

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