This might be the most bougie post I have ever seen on Lemmy.
"Turns out we're both teachers." Posts a 90 word run on sentence.
We are all doomed.
alright so sometimes people write things incorrectly to convey emotions. Run on sentences imo express exasperation and absurdity much better than proper sentencing.
You can write a whole book with just one sentence if the sentence is right-branching. Run-on sentence "rule" is more of an advice for beginners.
It's a perfectly good and legible sentence and conveys people having an excited conversation. It gives you no break.
Tbh, just because I'm capable of writing well, doesn't mean I always do, especially online. If OOP is an english teacher it's a bit concerning since not making it a run-on sentence would just be better storytelling, but otherwise eh.
Lemmy users when someone's creative writing uses slightly incorrect or unconventional grammar for stylistic effect:
Because it's hard to read...
These replies are mega cope. It's not slightly incorrect, just incorrect or very lazy. It's mentally exhausting to try and read this way, and they do not capitalize beginning of their 'sentences', nor 'I', etc.
Writing in this way does not make one come off as the next e. e. cummings, they just look very uneducated.
"And" is perfectly valid punctuation.

So is she a teacher or a paralegal?
OP and the other customer are teachers, the person sampling out the wine is a paralegal
I used to think this kind of combo was more rare but my therapist who is also a lawyer tells me that this is more common than I knew
Why do you wanna buy pasta in the wine shop?
To be fair, the signage was very misleading.
They tend to offer original high quality Italian pasta for sale.
WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AT THE SOUP STORE?
Context plz.
I like random fusion stores. I once bought a jacket from a shop that sold army surplus clothing on one side, and had an ice cream parlour on the other. Few feet from each other.
I used to go buy ammo to a store that was directly connected to a pet store. You had to walk through the pet store to get to the hunting goods, guns, and ammo "half".
Maybe because it's both Italian?
In my place we have one 'Italien shop' which sells all sorts of Italian food and amongst it is also wine.

Some of the nicer places have a gourmet section where you can buy stuff like nice cheese, meats that you would put on crackers, and higher end products, including pasta. Chances are high. If you get a bottle of wine, you probably want some snacks to go with it.
White wine demands freshly cooked pasta and an interesting partner nearby
