Why is there a comma in the, title?

[-] sem 19 points 4 days ago

It indicates a pause, and a separation of the two objects in the sentence. It is a subtly different sentence than "Have I been Pwned owner Pwned", and is clearer with greater emphasis on what happened.

wouldn't it be clearer with

  • "Have I Been Pwned" owner pwned.

  • Owner of "Have I Been Pwned" pwned.

?

I'd argue that the original is clearer and more fun than these, but style is subjective.
