For your language-nerd approval, McSweeney's list of "Sexting Ice Breakers for English Grad Students."
For example:
“I’ve been examining your assonance all day.”“Your analysis of Moby-Dick is so long and hard to navigate!”
“While the punctuation is grammatically correct, I could really go for a good interrobang right now.”
Try 'em. It could work! (Nothing's sexier than an interrobang, am I right?)
Thanks go to Hot Tipper Alithea, who also told me my favorite grammar joke: What's the difference between a cat and a comma? A cat has claws at the end of its paws, and a comma is a pause at the end of a clause. One million points for Alithea!)
