All Comments on 'The Comma'

Despite my quivering editor's red pencil, I managed to enjoy this clever concept, which is rare for me since I am easily distracted by needed corrections. I am a card-carrying grammar fiend, and have been known to edit typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors wherever I find them, official documents or not.

I think one of us is out of their mind and I believe it's probably me. I liked it. I was never turned on by punctuation before. Now I'd kill for a semi-colon.

...But what about exclamation marks?

Easy - one has CLAWS at the end of its PAWS and the other is a PAUSE at the end of a CLAUSE! Say that three times really fast!

Could be interesting what a question mark could do.

Reverse entry could really tickle her fancy.

Pedants and grammar nazis of the world, unite against the misuse of punctuation marks.

At least it wasn't that eternally problematic rampant apostrophe that is misused for plurals so frequently.

LaineyTales, you describe yourself as "Dreamer" in your one-word biographical note. Please dream on. More little daydreams like this would be fun.

ahem......i liked this. it made me laugh. i had a bad day today but you made me smile. thanks

Can't say it made me laugh. Still, I was curious enough to read it through. Maybe you can be Lit's rebel without a clause.

Whenever I reread something I’ve written, I have to go back and take commas out. Never tried putting them in an orifice—full stop. Poor comma, can’t win for winning. Amusing repartee in furtherance of story!

I thought, well, big deal, right? And further then, I mean, what of it? I struggle, you know, with overuse of commas, not in the way suggested in the story, but more so in composition. For some reason, I’m also reminded of the panda joke. Curious topic and perfectly droll.
