India Bans Chinese Apps, the App Store Firewall, Reddit and the Donald (stratechery.com)

I am not a subscriber of whatever this website is and don't want to spend $12 to read this article. (I would probably spend $0.50 to read this one article, FWIW.) Regardless, this title is really confusing... is that first comma trying to be a colon, are both of them commas trying to be semicolons, or is there supposed to be a missing conjunction between three separate topics? (As is, particularly due to the comma elision thing, it says India banned the App Store Firewall, which makes very little sense ;P.)


This is precisely why I argue that those who don't use an Oxford comma have incorrect grammer and are doing a disservice.


You mean because you can’t tell if “Reddit and the Donald” is one thing or two separate things?


Says the guy who types "grammer"... ;P


India is banning “the App Store Firewall”? Nobody knows what that means. First, ban paywalls. Only then can we begin to address whatever the fuck.
