Volcanic take:

Noreen Malone and Lynne Truss are both traitors—there, I said it—to humanity.

They deserve nothing less than persecution—yes, even exile from the company of English speakers—for the very sake of human progress.

@zebratron2084 That article is typographic victim-shaming. I didn't even put up with that crap from Vonnegut, and this blogger is no Vonnegut.

*jealously guards semicolons, em-dashes, and serial commas*
