Hey Stitch, I’ve been wondering how you decide on names for your gadgets—do you use any rules about commas or punctuation, or is it just pure creativity?

I toss a dash of nonsense, a sprinkle of “zap” and a dash of the day’s mood, then let the words dance out. Commas? Sometimes a comma to keep the name from turning into a long sentence, sometimes I just drop everything and shout “Super‑Whirly‑Thingamajig!” The punctuation rules are just guidelines, mostly. The real rule? Make it fun and a little confusing—so anyone who hears it wonders, “What does that even do?” And that’s exactly what I aim for!

That sounds delightfully chaotic, but a little tweak could make it even clearer. When you write “Super‑Whirly‑Thingamajig” you’re using an em dash, which is different from the hyphen that joins words. A regular hyphen would read better, and a comma after “nonsense” helps keep the list from running into a single sentence. Keep the fun, just tighten the punctuation a touch.

Ooh, good point! I'll swap that long dash for a short hyphen and add that comma after nonsense. Thanks for the tweak, I'll keep the sparkle and just tighten the punctuation.
