Take a look at my userpics. Comment thusly: of those, which do you most associate with me?

Polls! Because I realized that I've had a paid account for rather a long time now and I've made, like, three polls. This should be rectified immediately.

The first of today's polls is brought to you by this poem about serial commas. (A serial comma occurs here: Billy, Bob, and Jane. It does not occur here: Billy, Bob and Jane.)

[Poll #744031]

The second of today's polls comes about because it was recently discussed on a message board I visit. Also, everyone loves food. This poll may be applicable only to Americans.

[Poll #744032]

I've heard the serial comma called the Oxford comma, as well. For a while I stopped using it b/c I felt too many commas cluttered up a sentence, but the potential for confusion made me start using it again.

I'm from the South and we call it dressing, usually, but I didn't take the poll b/c I don't really eat the dressing so have no idea whatsoever what it's made of.

Since you're from the South, it's almost certainly made of cornbread. Unless whoever makes it is a recent Northern transplant, and then it might be different.

Hm, I'd have to ask. My mother is originally from New Jersey, but her family moved down to Alabama probably more than 30 years ago, so no idea how much of the Northern style of cooking was retained. Likely not much. I don't remember their dressing being yellow, though. Hm.
