It
seems that when we were at school we only came into contact with the rudiments
of grammatical construction when learning Latin or one of the modern European
languages. It was notably absent from 'English', which seemed to be more
concerned with inculcating the great works of authorship in the English
language, of which there are more than one could count. The actual 'nuts and
bolts' of English grammar was, more or less, assumed. The continuation of this
laissez-faire attitude puts us at a permanent disadvantage, and is to be
deplored. Many people are happy to parrot the thoughtless lie that grammar is
an old-fashioned, constrictive left-over from an age of deference, etcetera.
This is clearly wrong, in my view. We can only hope to make an impact on our
world if we can express our ideas with clarity and precision. Acurate
grammatical expression, whether spoken or written, allows us to do so, and has
the additional advantage of giving the hearer / reader one less excuse to
dismiss the content without giving it fair consideration. Oh, the
controversial comma! No wonder she's
exhausted. English teachers and journalists continue to battle on her
acceptance in our society. The date today is 8.11.16 or 8 November 2016 (or 8th
November 2016 if you prefer). If it was always written the logical way there
would be no comma needed! Thanks
Grammarly! After moving to Europe 5 years ago I had to learn to write the date
starting with the day, then the month. I have had to look up this information
so many times to reassure myself that I was writing the date correctly.
I'm confused. Do people actually say "eight November" or
"November eight?!"
It's eighth. So should be written as 8th. Surely?! Comma joke: There was a party of periods, only periods. Suddenly they spotted a comma and wondered who had invited it. They asked "hey comma, why are you here? This party is just for periods!"
"What's the problem? I'm a period, I just have long hair" . When we speak naturally, we tend to pause momentarily after "transition words" like however, for example and therefore. That is why these terms are conventionally followed by a comma. I have never taught rules for using commas. I taught instead the principle: if there is a momentary pause, insert a comma or surrogate. It is that simple. I am not a grammer expert, but the list of a series of actions that are all ending in "ing".

I would think, that "packing for" is the action pertaining to "shipment or distribution". All you grammer hawks including those at the economist feel free to wade in. Number 7, "Cleveland, Ohio, is known for their duck population," is incorrectly constructed. "Cleveland, Ohio" is a singular location (without personhood) used as a noun, and requires a singular possessive pronoun: "... is known for ITS population." I use this, (), in sentences and get confused if I should put the comma before or after. Example: I love to play pool with friends (and family) during the holidays. So the comma comes after friends, right? Not after (and family). This is very useful. The use of commas vary according to the Families Belong Together Shirt. Although I'm very fluent in English, I still struggle with the use of commas. I'm still learning its logic. So this article states “13 ways we are misusingcommas”. Does that mean their examples are us using them incorrectly or showing us how to properly use them??? we should the 13th suggestion to the makers of the calculator in our android, and i-phone. This should be done so that appropriate commas are displayed accordingly. It should be said that in a novel a writer IS allowed to use a comma as a tool to control how the reader read the text - which is initially the whole point of a comma. Only Americans hate commas. It's like they don't realize it's intended to mark a point where you breath, and then proceed after a very short Lebron James Ultimate Warrior T Shirt for inflection. Comma Comma comma comma comma Chame-leon... it comes and goes, it comes and goooooooess. Bwhahahahah!!!! I see apostrophes on non-possessive plurals all the time, and they get on my nerves. At my office I often see signs like the following:
“The cafe’s will be closed early.”
“Construction area. No employee’s past this point.” You know how sometimes your mouth spits out words before your realize what you said? Well, sometimes your hands do the same thing on the keyboard--guess a good proof read before saving helps, huh? My friend gave me a t-shirt re: the importance of commas. It had two sentences on it illustrating the point: “Let’s eat Grandma.” and “Let’s eat, Grandma.” Comma Master
Stop the presses! Or, at least, pause the presses . . . just long enough for you to check for any comma errors, because you are on fire! You were the English professor’s kid—or at the very least you were the teacher’s pet. You're a Comma Master. If your other Logic Rick And Morty Shirt skills are as practiced as your comma knowledge, our editors should watch out. I got bored with all the blanket rules, so halfway through, I just kept pressing the top answer to speed up the process. It turns out that I am a grammar master. This was too simplified, because the word "but" does not always need a comma before it. The same type of issue arises with the word "too." this was fun...take the test. Comma Master
