In order to celebrate Kamala Harris’ selection as Joe Biden’s running mate we’ve invented a new game. It’s called Comma Luck and can be used in the same way as flipping a coin or cutting cards when no coin or cards are available. But more to the point, the name can be used as a mnemonic to remember the correct pronunciation of her name. Just say the name of the game but stop before you get to the “ck” in “luck”. Easy enough and an easy way to tell someone how to pronounce her name and easy for them to remember.
The game itself is simple. Each player takes a turn opening a random book to a random page and whoever’s page has the fewest words* before the first comma wins. Also easy enough.
*A “word” is defined as any contiguous run of letters or numerals (or combination thereof) without a space or punctuation with the exception of apostrophes and decimal points in a number.
