What's the purpose of the :: and ::: on each side of the word? Does the serve some grammatical purpose that I'm unaware of or was it just to separate the word out of the sentence?
I used to get caught up about this kind of thing, because I really enjoyed being eloquent. I'm coming to the realization that language is about being understood by whoever you're speaking to. If your meaning is conveyed adequately, who really cares how many arbitrary rules you followed? And if you can't understand the slang they use, maybe they weren't talking to you.
