Do Misplaced Commas, Annoy You?

[5stringJeff]

I know, that some people, get annoyed, when commas, are misplaced within, a sentence. Are you one, of, those people?

[actsnoblemartin]

I think the grammer nazi's need to go F*** themselves, with their snobbery, and elitism. Good for you, you can use a comma, i dont give a s***.

And if your gonna criticism someone for such a meaningless thing, as a misplaced comma, then i dont give a f*** about anything you have to say.

A Comma-nist
Is a red, under, the bed

Colons give me the shits:
Semi-colons give me half the shits;

I sometimes wonder they a form of punctuation was given the name reserved for the intestine. Probably something to do with rumination. Now I'll probably find the entymological reason is that it's from the Latin. Whereupon I will ask myself why the intestine was named after a punctuation mark.

Life is full of quandaries.

Nearly, as much, as, spelling errors.

[PostmodernProphet]

punctuation is for wimpy victims of modernist dogma......

[shattered]

Yes, and I'm pretty sure they're sexist, too.

Yeah speling airors are the werst.

Anyone who has read my posts will agree my grammer is less than perfect, so nope doesn't bother me in the slightest.

[The ClayTaurus]

Yeah speling airors are the werst.Especially when someone needlessly inserts u's in words like "color." :poke:

[typomaniac]

Writing and editing are fundamental to how I make my living. So not only am I annoyed by misplaced commas, I can't even turn that annoyance off.

Hmmmm.... I wonder how actsnoblemartin feels about this ... anyone seen him?:laugh2:

I know who is the number one abuse of commas, me. I also know I abuse semicolons; but wtf! Do I know better, yes. Do I care? No. :laugh2: It was worth rep to Jeff though! (No, not neg. ;) )

[diuretic]

punctuation is for wimpy victims of modernist dogma......

Thou art no prophet, no seer you,
To write your point and then, by action, deny it,
To decry punctuation, but then to punctuate,
Is surely the action of an apostate

Subtle testing here I warrant, to test us all who read you,
Are there marks to those who pun?
Are there kudos? Or "is there kudos"?
Singular or plural, I could never get it,
I'm somewhat slow, thinking on the run,
Metre's not my metier, so I'll probably cop a spray,
From someone who's poetic mast'ry
Can leave me standing somewhat dazed,
But at least I know one when I see this,
The witty emplyment of an ellipsis :D

Semicolons; they rock!

[PostmodernProphet]

and rhyming is just as bad......besides my ellipses have more than three ...

I am a postmodern ellipser......

Or a promiscuous postmodern ellpser...? (I'm a traditionalist, as you can see, I refuse to use more than three...)

From the movie, Over The Hedge, quote from Hammy... "but I LIKE the commas..." :laugh:

[actsnoblemartin]

It is interesting how an innocuous topic like this, posted with humor, brings out so many...victims? No? Let's make that, no??????

Don't you just hate multiple question marks? :laugh2:

Speaking of extra question marks, don't you hate it when every teenage girl you overhear at the mall uses questions marks exclusively? Sometimes even in the middle of a sentence? It's really hard to understand? why they do that?

:poke:

[Trigg]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And multiple exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

You don't like that????????????

Some people are just never happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're typing here!!! We have to make our anger/frustration known somehow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!



*sarcasm*

need to add that in case some here get confused

An educated guess, they don't have ANY answers??????:laugh2:

[Swarm]

Actually I believe that proper punctuation makes it easier to understand what someone is trying to say. Also missed commas etc may change the meaning of a sentence quite radically.

That would be "missed commas, etc.," :laugh:

Many people would further claim that you need commas after "Actually" and "Also."

[actsnoblemartin]

Waah, someone made fun of me, so ill neg rep them. I hate you.


Yes, and I'm pretty sure they're sexist, too.

I think you mean:


Waah; someone made fun of me, so I'll neg rep them. I hate you.

Sorry to give you a hard time, Martin. But you see what I mean about not being able to turn it off? :laugh:
