All Comments on 'Comma, Period.'

I gave you 100 instead of a 75. I figured you really should never use an exclamation point, you should show instead of tell.

I imagine someone pushing you out of the way of freshly peed on sawdust.

"Hey, don't step on that. It's freshly peed on sawdust."

"Gee, thanks."

See, no where was there the need for an exclamation point (lol).

Seriously, I enjoyed the poem. It was cute.

great method here.

i shall like to incorperate such creativity into my works someday, when you are not looking...

Holy Englishgasm Batman!

I totally felt like I was sitting in Senior English class when all I would hear was basically exactly what you wrote

Some people do have penis envy about exclamation points!

But I tend to love them!

This is wonderful!

You took me back to grammar classes, boring as can be. What do you do? Play on what you hear and change it into a somewhat of a nonsensical song (In HS we never called it a poem!). Take the rules of Comma and transform them into…anything you want. Before you know it you have five minutes left. OOPS…”give me what you have in your hand!” “It’s nothing teacher I swear!” “And for lying five more exercises”. And that’s how they wanted us to love the beauty of the language?

I counted three exclamations in this paragraph. But I was dramatizing a memory, so I should be forgiven! (OOPs another one).

Loved the poem!!! (Who’s counting, it feels good)

This is the coolest thing I have ever read. Seriously. This struck right into my grammar-naziesque little heart and lodged there. Will you marry me?

Anyone that shares their internal musings in a way that brings about a chuckle ought to be praised. So, you are praised.

Now my hand is shaking a bit- ouch! I have just committed the worst crime and used that horrible not to be named sign. That was so funny, in a dreadful way, which reminded me of all my past grammar classes...

Oh happy days? Surely not all of them!!!
