About this Tee

The first book of A song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones, introduced us to Jon Snow, but you know nothing if you have not yet read the other books.


(No not a spoiler, just one of my favourite phrases from the books)

About Zort70

Hi I'm Ian, known as Zort70 on nearly every web site out there.


I have only recently got into designing things and actually submitting them to public scrutiny. The inspiration to do so was fired by blogging about the LOST underground art project.


I have my own site http://www.zort.co.uk and a Cafepress store http://cafepress.com/zort70

You need a comma after "nothing". Otherwise the sentence is telling someone they know something called "nothing Jon Snow", whatever that is.


Comma before a direct address. It's the difference between "Let's eat, grandma" and "let's eat grandma".

Thanks for the input Teaflax.


I'd be interested in other opinions about adding the comma as I did try it and it seemed to unbalance the design when it was there.

Ok, to help you make your minds up, here is the version with the comma -

I love the text you've used, and I'm dying for an asoiaf shirt. Not sure if I'd buy this one though, as the line really started to annoy me in the book.

Going into book club mode for a moment....


I have to say I did like the phrase as you can tell from the t-shirt design !


I can't be too spoilery for people that have not read the books, but it did make me smile when I read it. I feel it will be a bit like Winter is coming, where it was used a lot initially and then started to tail off. However I have only got to the end of book 3 volume 2 so it may yet be used even more.

Thanks for taking it well, Zort. A comma or another typographic symbol like a dash at the end of a line can screw with a design, that is indeed true. But I've never felt that that gives us designers the right to screw with the language to make up for it.


Oh, and for the record, I have no idea what the line is about, since I don't want to spoil the TV show by reading ahead.

I also agree with the comma. My inner grammar pedant is pleased by it.
