I was watching “Last Man Standing” tonight. One of the main characters mentioned something about a punctuation mark called a hedera. I thought, “What the heck, Google? Why don’t I know what that means?”

On that site there was an article on this very subject and I noticed from the comments that many others were interested by that word being mentioned on “Last Man Standing.” So… here is a hedera

Thanks, Wordict!
