Whoever wrote the explanation for this one went ALL OUT. Seriously impressive.
for example, the very idea of a "Brown comma" might more readily resonate with the concept of the Brown note.

Yale, I beg you, please turn your "Yale Comma" into a Yale Colon
“Yale Colon” seems like something you get first year by eating in Connecticut
I'd never heard of the Cambridge or Princeton commas. Assuming this isn't just a joke and they really exist, they can both go fuck themselves. Also that Cornell, needs to be a semicolon.
