oligies...isms and ocracies. Suffixes? Or a way of life? And why is The Incredibles 2 tearing up box offices...it's just a cartoon for adults that kids like too.

Isms or ologies? Is that a question one can answer? Is that even a question or have I wasted a perfectly good puncuator? Is Punctuator actually a word? And if not, I don't care. I like the way it sounds.

My Street Address Local Slang Dictionary (which, by the way, I've just decided to create) Lists a couple of interpretations of the newly coined word.
1. Punctuator;The person who has the job of adding or checking punctuation on teleprompters for TV news anchors. It's a very important job. Without commas and periods and those "semi" things that sound like part of someone's lower intestine (giving rise to the famous TV blooper, Pat, I'd like to buy a bowel please.") the news would be one long, boring run-on sentence.

2. Punctuator; Any word that acts like a traffic cop or street signs that tell you to stop or go or yield or pause when you are reading.
There is a possible third use of the word as regards the person or machine that punches hole in leather things, but I'm not too sure that should be added (probably more of a punchuator anyway...sorry).

I believe we need ologies. Just a single ology could hold the cure for cancer or other diseases. An ism can't seem to get out of its own way and do anything but fracture society. Even the benign isms in themselves are not an issue, however one ism might want to fight another to the death based on a conflicting ology, punctuating a potential perpetuation of man's inhumanity toward man. 

Governments follow ideologies. So there are some potential problems there, but if  is there is no ism resulting from that ology then it's potential for good is still intact.

Does this make any sense? You can't fear most ologies, but there are some that can lead to ruin. Theology is a hydra of tangles and pitfalls worthy of a Lara Croft adventure. Probably better for the new, less perfect Lara instead of the older, hotter, expert in everything Lara that made a couple of big budget movies a decade or two ago. She could get in trouble tangling with Egyptology or archaeology and other similar ologies.

Isms, however are perilous by nature. Why even heads of state can be fraught with isms and are often accused of some isms we might not even know about. We will not mention any names like Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin (on the Ritz) or Kim Jong-Un (lover of tattoos, nose, nipple and navel rings on very tall former NBA stars) but we all know who we are discreetly referencing here.

Then there are the ocracies. I believe (unsubstantiated sweeping generality warning) here are less ocracies than the other two and are they as important? News anchors could give a rat's ass about them unless there is a well punctuated blurb of news that crawls across their teleprompters (Kudos to that punctuator.)!
Yes. They are damned important!
Let's suppose strict adherence to a theology that  is works it's way into government and via manipulation or any other method the lemmings allow them to gain control. A theocracy is in the works. So ocracies can also take a devilish turn.

It all boils down into aural fatigue. Aural not oral. Not being tired of chewing, but becoming so desensitized by hearing those suffixes we tune out anything that ends words with those bits attached.
Remember those are the  important bits. We really need to make sure we know who, what, where and why when things just don't seem right. Complacency kills...and gets folks elected that reallllly don't have what it takes to run a shaved ice cart in Brooklyn much less a country of over 300,000,000 people.

After seeing Incredibles 2 the best thing about the film was the actors apologizing for it taking 15 years to come out with the sequel. It's hilarious. The kids who were old enough to watch the original in the movie theater with their parents are...yup our lovable Millennials. Making an apology to a group of adults in their mid to late 20's is assuming they will see the film at that age is funnier than the film could ever hope to be.

I am not here to bash Incredibles 2. It's humor via dialog is definitely not aimed at the little ones sitting in the audience making noise with toys, screaming, crying hysterically, having to get up and go to the toilet (even though the parent or grandparent asked if they had to go before the movie started and were told no), slurping an empty soft drink cup through the straw, or asking for a new toy after the film was over.
I liked what I saw and the baby stole the show (no spoilers here), but nothing compared to the apology. Funniest bit of writing I've heard in years...and thank you to that punctuator for doing a great job on the prompter ( could have been a live person holding a script. Those actors are too big of stars to have to memorize that stuff.

Go see it. Take a millennial...your treat. They  might thank you...if they can put their iPhone down long enough.

Annnnnd...scene.
