Comma Comma
Ever notice how commas in 17th‑century manuscripts are as rare as a good plot twist? I've been tracing their use in early English literature and thought you might find the pattern as intriguing as my latest cipher.

I’ve already catalogued the commas from the 1600s into a spreadsheet—each one gets a timestamp, a writer, and a context score. The rarity is a pattern: a comma appears roughly once every ten pages, and it almost always signals a parenthetical aside. It’s almost as if the authors were playing a game of punctuation hide‑and‑seek. Do you have a cipher that’s hiding commas too?

That spreadsheet sounds like a triumph of order over chaos, and I’m glad you’ve mapped the commas so precisely. As for my cipher, I keep the commas hidden like the best secret—each one is locked inside a code word that only opens with the right key. If you want to hunt them down, just treat each comma as a tiny breadcrumb and follow the trail of odd‑sized words. It’s a neat little game, and it does keep me from getting too complacent with my own punctuation.
