temperature and humidity... or temperature, and humidity.

it drives me up the wall when people don't use a comma to separate the last two things in a list unless they mean for the last two things in the list to be considered together as a conjunction.
that's the 'wet bulb temperature' thing we had in physics. a combined measure of temperature and humidity and wind-chill, i think. something like that.
i didn't know that some people need to actively humidity their houses. it's all about keeping the moisture out in these parts. particularly noted to be a problem in winter, rather than summer, because of the amount of money it costs to heat uninsulated houses. you put so much into heating the house and the first thing that starts to happen is the water starts collecting in beads around the windows. condensation. like how you lose a lot of heat when your sweat evaporates (it doesn't here, it just stays in beads on your skin and then pools and drops off). when you heat your house your house starts to sweat before you notice much of an increase in... genuine temperature. i want to say. not this sort of a surface warmth. a genuine warmth. that is warming. that is... healthy. obviously.
