I always thought they were a couple

[naticus@lemmy.world]

Bert and Ernie's mom? Definitely.

[townlately@feddit.nl]

The absence of the comma means Bert and Ernie are brothers and their mom is one of those ladies who married herself, which was a trend for a moment in like, the early 2000s or something.

[naticus@lemmy.world]

Hah, I definitely forgot about that trend, it was pretty short lived.

feddit.de is dead for more than a year now! The community moved to lemm.ee, but as that instance is dying soon as well, moist.catsweat.com is its new home!

There’s no place to grammatically put a comma for disambiguation, but if you switch around the subjects you can clear things up:
Ernie’s mom and Burt Bert?

[threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works]

But now you've introduced a fourth person, Burt, distinct from Bert, which has made for a somewhat confusing orgy.

[zachariah@lemmy.world]

Damnit! How am I supposed to be a grammar snob if I can’t even spell his name right?

Here's a new copy that doesn't needlessly cut off the text. Also in superior dark mode.

Oh! Thank you
