Title: In Honor of Jules Post by: Clive on January 04, 2008, 01:48:38 PM The use, correct or otherwise, of commas (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_comma.html) is, in some circles, thought of, although not, I should add, confirmed to be fact, as making the written word more difficult, cumbersome, and, in many ways, a pain the ass, pardon my French, than one would initially suspect, to read, were one to give the matter much thought.

Title: Re: In Honor of Jules Post by: Jules on January 04, 2008, 01:59:07 PM and this is for Clive.
Title: Re: In Honor of Jules Post by: Uisce Beatha on January 04, 2008, 02:00:20 PM LOL. Punctuownd.
Title: Re: In Honor of Jules Post by: Clive on January 04, 2008, 02:43:12 PM Turn that bird upside-down, and it looks, like a comma.
Title: Re: In Honor of Jules Post by: stroh on January 04, 2008, 05:18:13 PM LOL! , Nice play Jules.

Comma Comma Comma Comma Comma Chameleon Title: Re: In Honor of Jules Post by: stroh on January 04, 2008, 05:47:21 PM That's quite the thorough article on commas, Clive. No one else at the bar tonight stands a chance. Title: Re: In Honor of Jules Post by: Dunk on January 04, 2008, 05:49:57 PM With all due respect to the young lady, perhaps she should pick up a copy of Eats, Shoots and Leaves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eats,_Shoots_&_Leaves) by Lynne Trusse.
Quote A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons. ;D ;)“Why?” asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. “Well, I’m a panda,” he says at the door. “Look it up.” The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. “Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.” Title: Re: In Honor of Jules Post by: stroh on January 05, 2008, 06:20:32 AM I find that whenever I'm in, doubt, about where to use commas I just, say the sentence, out loud speaking like Christopher Walken and,. Then it's pretty, well obvious where the commas should go.

Then it's pretty, well obvious where the commas should go. Whenever I read the body of work Jules has accumulated here, the voice in my head turns into Walken rather quickly. Walken on a heavy regimen of estrogen and perhaps lithium, but Walken nonetheless.I'd give you karma, but I want to be the one to bump you into triple-digits.

Title: Re: In Honor of Jules Post by: gleek on January 05, 2008, 01:32:03 PM and they're not much bigger than 2 meters. Isn't it interesting that the Rebel Alliance standardized on the metric system? Title: Re: In Honor of Jules Post by: stroh on January 05, 2008, 01:34:41 PM I find their lack of U.S. standard weights and measures disturbing.
Title: Re: In Honor of Jules Post by: dystopia on January 05, 2008, 02:10:37 PM Hmm, I have a comma question, but I don't want to threadjack this discussion. I'll start a new thread.
