Why punctuation matters.

[Tefal]

A full stop means multiply? That is going to be terribly unfortunate for the monetary system.

yes, using X's just makes things far too confusing.

Not hard to use correct punctuation: doesn't even take any thought.

Poor spelling and poor usage of punctuation = fail. It also suggests lack of education or lack of brain. Unless however, that person is mightily dislexic.

If someone calls me a grammar nazi or spelling nazi, I take it as a compliment.

Please tell me that whole paragraph was intentional?!

are you allowed to use = in a sentence?

Also this reads horribly.

Oh and Nazi, has a capital N.

I once saw "Beef, tomato and mozzarella" on a hotel menu. One poorly used comma makes all the difference.

 

[The Dread Pirate]

I can only hope you did that to make a point but I couldn't help myself.

Firstly I did!
Secondly you grammer critic!
Thirdly... well there isn't one but It just doesn't feel right without thirdly

 

[Voltar]

Glad to see you like the irony...

Punctuation matters because it's one of the things that separate us from the lower animals.

Opposable thumbs and punctuation. That's the deal.

<Fashykekes> Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse.." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse.."

monkeys have opposable thumbs and opposable big toes, does the ability to peal a banana with your feet* equal punctuation?




*Why do women act disgusted if I ask them if thy can do this

peel
¬.¬

 

[Angilion]

That just hurts my head

A . means multiply damn it!

Since when?

The sentence is straightforward enough and the lawyer who misread it made a bad mistake.

It's one of the simplest uses of a comma - text within two commas as additional information that can be removed without affecting the meaning of the sentence.

 

[Tefal]

Since when?

Since the dawn of time.

 

[LordSplodge]

All those semi-colons in the quoted original make my brain hurt.

 

[The Dread Pirate]

Since when?

since Pi.z.z.a= Volume of my dinner

 

[Sankari]

monkeys have opposable thumbs and opposable big toes

...but no punctuation.

does the ability to peal a banana with your feet* equal punctuation?

No.

*Why do women act disgusted if I ask them if thy can do this

Because no self-respecting woman would do it.

 

[Tefal]

...but no punctuation.

So that means it's only punctuation that separates us not thumbs

does the ability to peal a banana with your feet* equal punctuation?

No.

Does it at least, equal decent spelling?

Because no self-respecting woman would do it.

1)
2) foot agility is important in any relationship.

 

[MarcLister]

Well that makes sense really, as spelling isn't the same as grammar. If you correct someones spelling then you should expect to be called a "spelling" Nazi.

/pedantic Nazi.

 

[Vonhelmet]

Grammar is very important...
