    My favorite thing about these videos is the subtle disrespect of the editors adjusting the guests’ punctuation

    • @thisgustin

      gotta love how you left out the punctuation after "puctuation".

      It's not disrespect, though. It's just making it the most understandable it can possibly be by conforming to standard syntax rules. It's actually quite respectful to both the writer, who is trying to deliver the message, and to the readers, who have to do the deciphering.

    personally I would have written:
    1) "who among you made me look like a parrot in yesterday's speech?"
    2) "it's fine to be artistic, but that's too much.."
    5) "look, you do not impress with me like this."
    7) "there was not enough room for everyone. you have to open the door before you leave."
    8) "perhaps it was much better to leave it in Texas."
