Comma comma comma comma comma chameleon! [Bill] a comma is a very frustrating thing. when does it come, should it stay? does it make sense. does it help give emphasis. commas have so much control. the dictate. the cause pause. they add suspense. Mrs. Wilson at Loretto Academy was comma-queen. she hated them and always regulated against necessary ones. [Sally] white [ilya] uhm... you use them in a sentance, they put spaces in a sentance withought making a new sentance. Not enough people use Comma's in their writing. Coma sava? ... [] i love commas, commas are my favorite, they make it easier to write ridiculously long sentences with breaks, rests for readers, which i need sometimes because i get distracted, however, commas are not semi colons or periods, periods you can literally stop, commas you can't. [Karah kara.vallee@gmail.com] A half smile, a pause, a snake in the grass, a list of descriptive elements--three preferred, [Ruth] i use commas was too much. of course, they're all grammatically correct, but I use them way too much. What I use more than commas though, is the semi-colon; i adore those fuckers more than any other grammatical piece ever. I use them so much, I think, because I like to wrtie as I would speak. So, where I would pause naturally, I comma it up. [aj] A comma is an important type of puctiuation. I always seem to misuse it, though. I am not sure what is so hard for me to grasp about the comma... but something must be [anna] comma. period. punctuation. a difference between a pause and a 'full stop'. a break in thought, rather than an entirely new one. like the pause of 'taking a break' rather than 'breaking up', the pause of you and me, knowing we'll be back together again soon enough. [megan] boy the bane of my life they do so anny me and as I am rushed I may miss one or many and If i over think I add too many they bother me so. [Avigdor Melech] comma [Erica] a comma is a character which is placed after a word or words in a series of three or more words. a comma is also used before the word but. [eric] put a comma at the end of a sentence. [Vicki] comma is kinda usefull, see, you can distict words, see, its rather handy, there again, and one more time, so thats all i can say about commas, now i will make a stop. [Uros] Oh dear - comma again - I'm running out of things to write about commas...Now, if it was apostrophies, then I could most certainly write most eloquently - for an hour or more - but, the humble comma? [] comma comma comma comma comma chameleon...you come and go, you come and go. loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams. Red gold and green, red gold and green. [kbizzle] The comma separates, distinguishes, and ensures order. [T] This is just a giant comma. Who on earth makes a statue about a giant comma?

Her shoes were perfect.. and her dress just the right length . I fell in love! [Russ] comma [] commas, ive decided, cannot be used too much. They will seperate anything, mostly for the best.

[Patrick] The comma goes places , I don't really care about this item and that's about it [asdfas] briefly to pause our thoughts, to slow the fast slide of words.. a written inhalation. [jonelle] the cat was curled like a giant black comma and rumbling with contentment. life seemed a constant pause for him, sleep punctuated by bouts of play. [pufffinbrae] The comma is a funny little insect. People often mistakenly think it's not an insect, but something to do with punctuation. Oh how wrong there are. It works for the comma being thought of as this - it means he has no enemies! [Helen] "Llama llama Oxford comma!" Kay yelled at Cassandra, giggling. She tossed a french fry at her best friend and nearly fell over with laughter. [winter] comma comma come to the depths of some distant hell so I can torture the Jesus out of you. [chris] the comma. the breath of a sentence. a paragraph. a story. The thing that gives a story a rest, a pause, a nap, everything. But take too may rests or breaks, they fall into a coma. funny. comma and coma are off my one letter... [Bored-In-Biology-Class] comma [sdgsdt] this form of punctuation is used to emphasis a pause in a sentence. ie; "Jack was walking down the road when all of sudden Lucy, his friend, jumped out and scared him". I personally love commas, they're sexy. [Caeden] I think a comma is wierd. [ukachi irobereachi] comas are like commas but not really like in that ask a ninja video when i hung out with that girl i really like but i dont know if she wants to be friends or not with me we have lots of history but shes really awesome and i hope she can leave it behind. the green box isnt over, but im going to stop wriitng now [] comas are like commas but not really like in that ask a ninja video when i hung out with that girl i really like but i dont know if she wants to be friends or not with me we have lots of history but shes really awesome and i hope she can leave it behind. the green box isnt over, but im going to stop wriitng now [] Comma [] the thing you use in between people, place or anything else/ [] A comma goes at the end of a word when you want to say you like more things.

[Joni] why the fuck do i have to use commas? Jack Kerouac hated those damn things. A period with a tail. that's all it is. a period with a tail. if a rabbit didn't have a tail, it wouldn't be a rabbit, so it is clearly something distinct from a period. I do like using them becasue i am a fan of run on sentences and run on and then and then and then [Farrell McKenna] A comma is hard to use in a sentence. [ukachi irobereachi] The comma is a hard tool to use on cell phones, older phones don't even give you the option.

[timpi] comma coma pause one pause after the other semi [sand] commagene [] freedom...to have nothing to loose..... [lucci] comma [ivete] Comma, you puncutate my sentences, help them make sense. Without you I am just gibberish. A world without a comma would be full of periods. That's just a world, I could not take. [l2evenge] The comma is very important but in a small way that is never, ever known to many people. [ukachi irobereachi] pomme [pomme] I have never been in a comma. Wonder what it is like to be not present for others. Where is your mind. [Chris G] The comma is commonly used in writing. [] in a sleep [] A comma helps me breathe. [XxloxX] You use them every day. In papers that do no good except get you the grade. Uggh i want college to be over. i want my life to start so i can stop looking for dead end jobs, and do what i want. [looking for peace] The comma is the enemy. If it were not for the comma, red ink would never touch my composition papers. And yet, the comma is important. Without it the sentance goes on and on and the mind does not get a chance to breath and we are overwhelmed and run out of breath.

[la la po] My biggest fear is being in a comma. [db] It hits her like a tonne of bricks, the news that he died. Her lungs constrict, her gut wrenches painfully and she retches; her heart splinters. Then it grows in her, the darkness. A large circle of black. Perfectly formed in her mind’s eye, growing and staring her down. A full stop. It would be many mornings later, as she gets on with her life, that she’ll realise the full stop was only a comma. Life goes on. [Vee] this is a comma (,) it's sort of like a full, stop but not. I think i might use commas too much. it's used for punctuation, look another comma! i really do think i use commas too much. [Nina] a comma is something that you use to write with and it adds to puases to things you write about. their acutlally really hard to use thought most ppl dont know that because there are lots of rules and its really annoying i think i should get to choose when i want a pause in what im saying and when i dont, no one should tell me. see i just used one and i dont know if that followed the rules i just want one there. [Emily] a space in between words [Tyrone Green] The comma stood there, right in between one thought and another, and he just couldn't produce a single clause to connect. And yet, he had left the sentence so open, so dangling, that he felt as if he had to finish the thought. [blue diamonds] comma, not a period she said. leave space for something else to follow. you want just a pause there, a breath, that's all, and then continue. not a full stop, not a change of subject, just some time to catch your breath, to finish the thought, to follow through. continue. keep the rhythm don't interrupt yourself or you may never find that one thought again and you'll always wonder. [] じょ [] bekar hai yeh to bhenchood....what the fuk will i write about a fucking comme man... [] comma, punctuation. Punctuation is bloody tricky word when you're in a hurry! Commas aren't necessary when doing a freewrite, but it's very difficult to get out of the habit of using them. That and full stops! [Louis] comma, just one word to write about, when to putt a comma, this is difficult for dyslectics people who find it hard to place them at the right moment, at the right spot... why the word comma i can write about anything [freezo] comma comma this, comma comma that. guess what my brothers friend got hit by a car and ended up in a coma, not comma, but coma. he ended up dying and it was really sad and so when our dog died my brother wasn't phased at ALL. it made me angry. i really really loved that dog, fuck. such a shame. [liz] comma are lame I dont' like to use them. Punctuation in general sucks I dont know why it exists at all it is all just nonsense so is grammar why do people think that it makes them so special oh this is a good example right here because I make no sense [Aramina] oops reading the subejct comma left me in coma. i forgot to start writing and keep on thinking. why it always happens [eewriter] Well all i thinking is that comma is a punctuation mark but many times its ignored or used wrongly but its a nice trick anyway. It determines manythings. [Murtaza] what a strange, asymmetric shape is the comma!Representative of a rite of passage, a bildungsroman of punctuation. [weehet] The pause that refreshes. That slows a thoght without stopping it. Never to be confused with coma. [Paul] He rushed to the spot. He couldnt find her. There were almost 8 casualities, the public over there said. As per the guidance he rushed to the hospital. He searched frantically all over there. There were two people in comma. At the end he found her not in the list...

[₯№] it is something that seperates part of a sentence to break that sentence down. [] Paul can't spell to save his life. Can't write punctuate either. Once, he allowed a whole sentence to go by without marking it up for commas at all. It was not a sentence but a vomit of words. [Ed] Comma i think of writing. Using it correctly. In another way I think of comma is to express another opitions. There is more to it than mets the eye. [Lishy] commas are wonderfully wonderful and fine. I do like commas, oh yes. Carissa never used to use commas. she probably still doesn't. I use commas a lot. A whole lot. Actually, I haven't been using too many commas here. Yet. Comma comma comma.

[gg] ,,,,, ,,,,, , , , , , [Chua Yi Xuan] it is the best thing in the world, we can differenciate one centence from another, can you imagine if we didn't have the comma, that would just be so funny. I love the comma, I can't thing [ma] a punctuation? or end of life? [ninjaturtle] there was a man that had a fasination with lipstick and he desided to play around with it..so he drew all over his face and him self with it. but one day he fell into the bathtub and tight his head after that he was found like that by his wife and he was ina comma. [Mina] , [Goldier] the tiny thing, it has such deep complications attached to it. for example these words put togehter "woman without her man is nothing" becomes the most beautiful sentence with a comma "woman, without her, man is nothing" [sam] a pause in life [catiam] comma [] KUK [dan] comma is very important it gives structure to the sentences.it has other uses as well a person can go into coma,some returns and some stay in coma for years and die. this state is somtime called as vegetative state [ali] What is there to write about commas? They merely represent a pause in literature. Just another device that the man uses to get you down. Like really. Wtf mate. Wtf mate. [Tyler] so little, means so much. It's a little breath between thoughts. It's a a space, a second and time-out. It's often used so incorrectly. Overused, [stebonie] what is this business, a comma?! i'm supposed to write about punctuation? what do you expect me to do? not much, is the answer.

COmma rules can be read in punctualtion. [Poojaviv] comma a comma should have been used just a second ago, but i just used one now. a comma is like a coma, but more interesting, less interesting, i'm not sure. i hear a door noise, maybe a shower door, like the plastic ones with the foggy fancy blurr so you can't see naked women in their bathrooms while a cat sits on the green spiral mat in a white tiled floor-ed roomy room of rooms oh, look, the green became red,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, [hi] a comma is a small item of grammer we don't really know what it means all the time because as a species we are exceptionally retarded, that's a transaction to something I actually want to talk about now. as a species we have lost our sense of self, bears and deer do not have misunderstandings we have used the languages we created in order to confuse ourselves and make life at the top of the food chain more interesting [John Deere] the thing we need to pause, to ponce, to pontificate. It is the breath of life. The comma is where GOD rest. Damn, 60 secs is long. jhmmmmmmmmmm, kkkkkk [Sherrie ] fuckfuckityfuck [] What can i say about a comma?

[the_croc] A pause, a short break in a sentence filled with unanswered questions and silently screaming thoughts and dreams and hopes and fears. Wishing that you'll understand in every pregnant pause what lies behind the words. Feel me, feed me, understand me not your lies, but dreams.j [jane ] The word 'comma' reminds me of a funny scene from Mind Your Language. Ms Courtney was asking Juan what a comma was. And he confidently answered, 'A coma is when somebody is in a deep sleep'...something like that, I don't remember the exact sentence but it goes along that line! Thanks to Mind Your Language, I've laughed and laughed along with the foreign students and their hilarious antics. [josettebooks@yahoo.com] Comma's are commonly used to seperate sentences.

[Rachel] it is in the place in a sentence to divide your thoughts and organize it correctly. it makes things interesting and more dramatic you know like a period but it is blown in the wind. it is like a colma with the l and therefore it is not as depressing and so there is the comma God made to help english sound better rather than not better which is, worse [antonio] I never no when to use commas unless it's a list of things in a sentence. i get confused otherwise. do you? i can't remember my grammer from school. i should I got an a. it reminds me of momma momma mia here i go aagin [dumbass] comma is a state in wich people fall when they are about to die so you should not like it. a comma separates sentences, , , , , comma. [gee] The punctuation a dot with a hinge and it means a pause, a juncture, lists, dot slash, learned in elementary school. [CT] Here is what differentiates a sentence from all the meaningless ramblings it can contain and give meaning and expressions and life and more to what you want to say without ever putting an end to it by adding a dot called the fullstop, instead we put the comma. [Sowmiya] commas are annoying, i hate all of the rules that go along with them, fuck that. and it reminds me of english, which i never have to take again, thank god. i'm just stuck doing math and science for the rest of my life, hopefully being a neurologist. but we'll see what happens. so [Deren] At first I thought the word was "coma," but then after I realized my mistake, I then realized I had to use a comma in order to properly punctuate this entry. Today's word tricked me into using it as a grammatical device! [Justin] I was in a comma the other day. Not sure what I felt. or was it comma? I can never remember the diference. was I in a sentence or a medical state? [Jason Haislet] A comma sucks. It is used to indicate dramatic pause - such as "If you fucking touch that, I will rip your balls off." It is also used to seperate things in a list such as ass, tits, and pussy. [Mr. Juggalo] the most overused thing in the engligh language. well probably not, but even now i am using one to separate this sentence. increbible i know. i wish i was a better speller, then at least the commas wouldnt look so god aweful amonst the terrible mistakes trewn through this sentence. o well again. i go to film school and that makes commas unnessacary. wow not true. [chelsea Terry] apostrophe , separate sentence vowel sentence structure period punctuation mark, cursive. words [mariam] A comma is what you put when you can't seem to end something.

[chelsea Terry] stuff you use while writing essays and stuff i hate english reallt mr, ganely is awful like terrible gah wft what is this??? haha well hi my name is Shannon [shannon] Comma's seem to like me a lot, at least on oneword. They seem to be infatuated with me, stalking me constantly. I would like to write about something else. Perhaps the sky, the ocean, that rock over there on my desk. Maybe even that annoying noise the keyboard makes when I'm typing. But no, I have to write about a comma. [Anonymous] Paused, frozen in time for an eternity- so close and yet so far. You take a breath, lick your lips, and continue. Free once more. [Comma] The comma would be a father soon. His poor wife was in labor, but he gave her all of his love. The two wanted a child who would eventually take up the family business, which was a very important business indeed. After many hours of labor, Comma's wife, Colon, had given birth to a beautiful baby boy, whom they lovingly named Semi-Colon. [Kristin] pause and space. evenly over..simplified and separate. I am the distance between a thought a definition and an utterance. I am the in between. I am a comma. [swandrea] so boring. Its just a pause. Do you reall need to think or breathe in this time? So many rules involved. I hate rules. Stupid coma. I put too many in my essays. They are proliferated with Comas. [Robyn Hanna] deep internal sleep. [dakshina thanky] It's a separator between words. It resembles "coma", but doesn't ever last as long. If a coma only lasted the length of a comma, it would be a blink. If a comma lasted as long as a coma, you would still be reading the last sentence. [Andy] its the thing you put in between thoughts. sometimes there used poorly by people who don't know how to write well. those people shouldave studied harder in school and maybe they'd know the proper use of commas, but it's okay for them because it's not my job to tell people how to live there lives, but with commas I could keep typing forever because unlike periods they continue sentences that could potentially go on forever, but for the sake of this website i'll end it here. [Boner Menow] i like commas they are actually pretty boring but yeah im kinda confused. um there are alot of commas in books and stuff and i like books they always keep me entertained well almost always haha ok this is taking like forever [liz] missed commas people dont stop to look listen or speak, there, I rested I couldn't stop I wrote and found that there are indeed commas within me that I never knew existed, missed friends, missed opportunities, missed loves and lives - all passed by for the sake of a comma or none.... [lynley] A comma is somethign that we use to punctuate. Lot of people do not know how to use them, and it bugs the crap out of me. ARG! Also, people tend not to SPELL CHECK their stuff, that also bugs me. Stupid english people don't know their own language. [Carmen] commas are a great way to separate words. they keep the meaning of words clear. commas are a good way to make thoughts clear. [deborah] I slept through one today and I was the best comma I'd had in a while. I woke up in the middle and decided I didn't want it to end yet so I entered back into my comma and awoke about 3 hours later....I was hungry so I went and made myself some mac'n cheese and considered another satisfying comma.....and I just realized the word was comma and not coma.... [Blitz] Nobody knows how to use commas. Who gives a fuck, I should be able to use commas, wherever I fucking please, they should just replace all punctuation. [] A comma is something that goes into a sentence when you would like to pause and or list things. When listing, you put the comma in between each item in order to separate them. You wouldn't want to confuse the reader by combining words. [Steve G] something that tends to separate words a sentence structure that runs the world, nothing is comparable but all things follow the comma...it shows us division and complexity and simpleness at the same time yet still guides us astray [Brian K.] Ice age. We need one ever once in a while. [Kaizar] I have always had trouble knowing where the comma goes in sentences. Very embarrassing for an English major. I mostly use a dash because of this. I wish I had learned it when I was a kid. [vic] comma is like a longer version of a coma Commas are that pause between yes and no and I love you and i don't know. Comma is the breath between a kiss, the pause of thought between rational discourse and insane ranting. Comma is home. Its the space one needs and craves [Antonio Padilla] It not only a comma do not confuse with coma, comma comma comma comma camelion. So many ways to use this word.

Also, pretty much entirely absent from the internet. Maybe they're going extinct? Oh holy shit! The comma is going extinct! Fuck global warming, this is serious! Have you read what someone has written without commas? It sucks, doesn't it? [Adam Hemphill] first thing i think is the dalai lama. whats the problem? theres obama, osama, and the late saddama. fuck all that polotical drama i just want the ganja. cant stop me from getting higha. [djozeroner] awake but dead, alone with no one to help you but yourself. [brianna] , [] Punctuation. Joins two thoughts. [J] a comma is a very useful mark to use to separate items in a list. [] One word is a very big thing for two words. One word can mean many things from "yes" as in "yes I will marry you" and no as in "no you are not going to die." One word can change someone's life forever depending on how it is used. Just one word. [Chelsie] common sense, not everyone possesses this invaluable skill. I guess it must be an innate skill. [jiao] a comma is used in lots of things such as naming a list of things or in dates after the day its a period but not completely its more like a period literally with a little tail [kate] WHEN I SEE A COMMA I THINK OF WAITING TO THINK AND SEPARATING IDEAS TO BETTER INTERPRET WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT [MARK Williams] this is the weirdest punctuation in the whole English language. it is the most useless one. who the fuck uses commas. they are dumb. they are simply used to stop my train of thought. but not totally stop it. just slow it down. I am like a freight train with my thinking and no comma can slow me down. it can only hope to contain me. but not really contain me, just really bow to my awesomeness because commas are no match for me.... bitch! [Steven] It's nothing but a pause, a breather. I look towards you and the heart stops. I am now on a stretcher on my way into the hospital. How am I even thinking this? It all started with a comma, a short break, and ended in a coma. [PK] . [.] oh dear, here we go again. [clover] comma, comment, ment - what who ment by a comma? who knows... break, not to snap but a short intake of breath befor diving back into the common deluge [clover] sun shine [] Well, What can I say about a comma? It's such a convenience when you have to take a breath, or dramatic pause. [Reylin] a break or pause in thought. To grammatically separate. List, list, list lust [Laurel] comma [laurel] Punctuation. Pauses. An opportunity to clarify or add something to what already exists in a sentence. Something I perpetually had to edit in people's papers in college. Something I constantly found myself marking in or taking out from the student papers I was correcting when I taught English. A common mark. A common error. [rachelzana] moo, i just used one that what it is you add it to to show a pause like to take a brake or breath thats the end of that ,,,,,,,,,, <-- thats what it is [shane] Commas seperate things. Words cannnot come together, all because of you. The horrible selfish comma. You are just jealous of the hyphen. Now that's love. The hyphen is love, bringing words together to live happily. Oh Comma, you are just JEALOUS. [Azalea Maye] i do not understand the rules of how to use a comma, it is hard, and it always seems like i misplace it. comma's are useful tools in grammar, but my english teacher takes them way to seriously. bye [kay] At first I thought this said coma. I wonder what it's like to be in a coma. I remember the father in the movie "Uptown Girls" was in a coma. It made me really sad when he died. Goodness gracious, I love that movie. I have seen it so many times. It made me love Dakota Fanning and Brittany (sp?) Murphy. [CC] Commas are useful and necessary. Use them. [Grammatically Correct] The comma defines our existence. It creates that pause between words, between sentences- wrapped up in that pause is a glance, a smile, a hand on your shoulder, the things that make life so amazing every day. Someone in this critical world praising you; someone in this self-absorbed world finding you the most amazing thing they've ever seen. [Aaron S.] most people do not understand how to use a , and most redneck fucks think it is coma and guess what piece of crap coma is coma!!! [megan] my best friend was brought into a comma state, he was born on september 23 and have being struck by a truk on september 26, he now is in a state of absolute coma and has no surviving chance. he died today, september 29. [luge] sucks [] damn i thought that said coma! i thought that was a rather morbid topic to discuss on such a trivial site. hahaha. well i have been neglecting commas this whole time i've been writing. there are many that i should've been adding for the sake of grammar. [Monica] it goes between words . it's a form of punctuation. it is misused commonly. what the heck am I doing?ummm i don't know what to say! has it been a minute yet? heelloo? [no one] At the end of a sentence. Used with out think, or when finishing saying something. Made me almost fail English. [Melissa] You can do so much with a comma, it can increase what you can write about and make your sentences a lot longer and more complicated. I like to use commas in a lot of the things I write, without commas i guess we would all have to resort to using the semi colon instead [Becca] Sitting in class [] a comma is something used in writing, to express a pause, a hesitation, a consideration. some people place way too many commas in their writing, and i find it annoying. i guess i'm also annoyed when people speak as if acknowledging commas. there are many kinds of punctations to put into sentences, like semicolons, colons, dashes, ellispes. i think i like ellispes best. [sara e.] not sure what ot write about a comma but it has it's place [me;issa] this word makes me think of the English grammar. Why is the punctuation rules so difficult? [lala] you, are a loser, and you smell, and your rendition of sweet child of mine is awesome, and i want chewing gum, and a popsicle, preferably a red one, and i want to watch step brothers, and you're gay, but i still like you anyway, and i just made a rhyme, and now i'm out of time. [jason] I dont really like comma's. I always feel as if I'm using to many of them, instead of just using periods. The English language is very difficult to me sometimes, but its the only one I know. Also typing on a laptop is very difficult. [Peter ] Comma. A simple punctuation tool that separates two thoughts. Two thoughts that work together to make up a larger idea. In my opinion, the comma is the most incorrectly-used piece of punctuation. [This one sucks] You (comma) are hot (comma) like a cinnabun (period) You (comma) make me sweat (comma) and rock hard (period) You (comma) are (comma) sweet child of mine (period) Guitar (comma) Hero (exclamation mark) [ari] etc. on and on and on, could go forever. also, but. [d] its simple one words that keep our lives exciting.one word any word can make or break you... goodmorning, hello and so on. keep happy and say one wordto make someone's life happier. [bella] its simple one words that keep our lives exciting.one word any word can make or break you... goodmorning, hello and so on. keep happy and say one wordto make someone's life happier. [] Falling into a comma...oh wait, that's coma. Well comma's are better than coma's, unless you're in a coma, in which case you won't care much about commas. Mind you, I wouldn't know. [Leify] ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, [bored] interruption, pause, continuing, that which allows a connection, a bridge builder a function served by some people in society so useful [NWartist] Pause. Sit there. Ponder. Ponder. Drip. Only for a split second, but I sit there. Waiting patiently. Simply acknowledge me. That is all I ask of you. That is all. , [stephanie] im in a comma, i cant see any thing or hear any thing, carrots its like orange but not when you see it when you taste it, i wanna see sheep, but theyre too furry, its kinda weird when the sleep, idk, its like moses, but not, because he was a shepherd boy and saved the israelites, since history is is awesome and idk, its like the stars in the sky are so bright because im in a comma and only see thing in my mind [kelsmary] Many things in a big long list that's neverending, a great run on sentence that says too much and never takes a breath to think about the next thing you wanna say, which of course, wii be followed by a comma. Period. [Caryn Ronis] , A pause to draw a breath or a break in a line of thought one never can really appreciate the simple pleasure of commas until you make an effort not to use them. Writing seems to drab without their finesse. [Jenn] I love commas. They are very underrated. A comma means that the end of a thought has come, but there is more there. We are still here, we are still speaking, there is still time. Life keeps going,... [dork] The word is comma I read it as coma. There the same a break in life or a break in a sentence. A pause from reality. Not fully there not fully with it and yet surrounded by life, by words, by meanings. [mimi] a comma makes me think ofa sentence, it makes me think about continuing my thoughts. Adding on more than I need to, but maybe a little extra to add something special. [MEEP] It is quite difficult to write an intellectually stimulating paragraph without placing a comma in it somewhere. That being said, commas are one of the most confusing grammatical ... oh heck. [SMarie] A source of punctuation that not enough people know how to use properly. As a rule, people either use it too often, putting it in places where it doesn't belong or isn't needed; or it is not used enough and therefore makes run-on sentences. It's really rather simple, wherever you would pause while reading out loud, put a comma. [April] writing, i hate writing, ive been told im good at it but i dont really like it. i never know where to put commas, they are stupid. my roommmates talking about nothing. the timer at the top is annoying me. ah running out of time. bye [] a small fragment in life it separates word from work and topic from topic. It's a place I'd like to be. the peace keeper in all subjects and over used by american children. [elphaba] comma: [] a pause. separates compound sentences. apostrophe on the ground. used before quotations. [veronica] a punctuation used to separate two clauses. there is also a semi colon that involves a comma. they are very bad if put in the wrou [] period. The word resonates with finality. I hate you. Period. This won't work. Period. How about trying a comma once in a while? [Maryiam] I really enjoy grammar. I like knowing proper punctuation. I like understanding the semi-colon, colon, comma, and serial comma... [kristin] a comma seperates what a sentence is, but what if they did not exisist ever? how would language completely change and what would conversations look like now?! how crazy would life be without "structured" forms of speaking? different. [Rafikki] well, the comma is one of the most misused punctuation marks, that much i know. why was it? oh, because it tends to leads to run on sentences, where you just keep going and going and going, and saying more than you intended to, and never stop, and people get tired of reading it, and- oh. [shannon v] What a drunk girl says when she wants to go home. [Sharman] something ive never known how to use properly in a sentence. they teach you this stuff in like grade 3, im now 35 im obviously going to forget. does this make me dumb? maybe.. [mike] comman baby why don't we go for a ride all night long into the horizon, fall back from the city. kick back listen to music, ride next to me baby, let's go for a ride. get outta here lets go i'm ready to see where the wild things roam. [hilary] comma, pause, silly little thing yet soooo important it can change the course of history and make something so simple quite complicated, indeed. [] jane was asking me what that punctuation was - are you sure it's a comma mom? [Lori] Why does the comma sit in the middle of the table? The consonants mingle with the vowels as y drinks down a semi colon. The colon stands as far from the parentheses as possible, making an odd triangle with the period. but still, the comma sits. it sits and it's watching me and i don't like it. [Sam] comma face name game [9] Comma again? Yeesh. I just got this one. damn. [] writer's block loves me. [] who knew doing so little could cause so much pain and anguish [Marina] commas are the bane of my life. and yet, they make it. my life, i mean. commas dictate how i say things, when i say things, WHY I SAY THINGS. well, not really the latter. how is it that one little symbol, "," has so much meaning? why is that? a question for the ages. [sara] boob [leelou] drama comma cordelia, my friend with spattered pants. A comma-tose estate, thatch roof special. [Claire] Comma. Comma toes. Comma dit-on? Comma San Diego. Comma daunt. Comma. [] A weird... logical, but illogical way to puctuate and seperate ideas. Abstract. [Kimberly] The common comma is often abused by lesser writers in an attempt to sound more intelligent, or to create impossibly large run on sentences. It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in. [] the space with a pause seperation loss hate love at a distance the power to pause the amount of fear that one can instill with a pause [james] she was like a comma in a sentace, [meagan] a comma is a little tiny whip snake [yona] The comma is the bane of just about any high schoolers' existence. I remember seeing the words "comma splice" splashed across my papers in ink about twice per page. who the hell cares? Just read it out loud and it'll make sense. [rohannon@live.com] you put it in a sentence to seperate ideas [kristen] it is a comma I am not reall ysure what to rote but I guess I use it alot!!! so I could not live without it LOL I probably use it to much who knows who reall ycares its a comma HA HA okay how much can you reallysay about a comma really what is therr to say [Coralee DaCosta] comma's are quite curious. I never can quite get them right. They always end up in the wrong place... or I end up with too many, or not enough! [Kristina] comma like a ,,,,. commas make thoughts go together. ha. they make thoughts go together. yikes. this shit is so dumb. comma comma comma. i have a lot of thoughts. a lot a lot. maybe i should start a diary. yeah right then someone can read all the shit i have done. [Samantha] I have often wondered how a comma must feel. Most people read right through it, paying no heed. It has to share its billing with the semicolon, where the semicolon gets more reverence. Most people don't even know how to use it. [Bryan] comma comma lets the drama begin [jets] stops go. you know? it helps me get my point across...this is stupid i wish i had a dollor to make change in this life,,,,,,,,,wowowwowowowowowowowowowow i'm lost what's the point. i love eggs [LD Green] ,
[Sylvie] Comma is like a coma. Not really but it just sounds like it, you know? Ha. I'm really failing. WHO CARES, ,- omg- a comma! *goes into coma* ha. really witty. yeah. [Amanda] comma [casey] Wait, I have comma AGAIN? Does the word not change every time you do this? That would be much more fun. I still believe that commas look like winks...I think people sometimes confuse commas for periods, honestly. There were SO MANY comma splices in the last paper I proofread. I tried to explain that commas indicate a pause, and that if you read the sentence and pause where the comma is and end up with a funny sounding sentence, chances are the comma doesn't need to be there. [aj] a pause, a rest, a beat. unfinished. [EcoMeg] commas are strange punctuation marks. they look like little winks. people often forget to use them, and this agitates me when i'm proofreading papers. some people don't even know what commas ARE, and that's just absurd. didn't your high school teacher teach you ANYTHING? i mean, really... [aj] A comma? Really? I have to write about a comma? Interesting exercise this. A comma is something very useful in grammar. I was not expecting to write about a comma but this is actually kind of fun. A comma is one of those things that people forget to put in their sentences. [Rick] comma...okay I already had this one. I guess I need to try again. Comma's are used quite frequenty in English class. I'm personally more of an exclamation point or question mark kind of person. [] a com ma is always used in sentences. [] puncutation [] Coma, oh, comma. misread as "coma" because almost everyone i've met today was a babbling, foggy brained, disorganized zombie with 0 fashion points. And I NEED A SERVICE DOG??! To serve others, I guess. Ah well, a comma is a pause. Well deserved. Let's make better use of them. I'm home now & going to comma-tize myself. luv ya! [@] it pauses when you need a breath, it reaches out to silence when the silence needs a moment. its never the end when there is a comma. [jonhanson] People use commas in a sentence to define a break, -Always, ox. [Kate] what we have is a comma, a simple piece of punctuation that is more often misused and abused than used correctly. We have the spinster's comma, the grocer's comma. None of this makes sense, but I'm going to throw in commas anyway. It's important to know that when you're punctuating something, a comma is as often wrong as it is right. You just have to know. [Robert] i dont give a fuck about an oxford comma [amustafa] pause. say more. pause again. you don't have to stop altogether, but take time to think a bit. add something descriptive. breathe too. there's always more you can say. [Jan] Comma. I love you comma too. I love you comma Travis. Commas are an interesting form of punctuation, if you ask me. I think I overuse them a bit, though. Damn. [Rhane Yarbrough] I am an over comma user. I really like commas because they signify a break in thought for me. Like, right there...did you see that? Commas are super cool, but I must admit that I use them too much. I abuse them. I really need to stop. I really need to stop the madness, but I just love them so! [D] her English teacher stared at her intently. She had written the sentence on the board no less than 3 minutes ago, and the teacher still hadn't said a word. She proof-read her sentence over and over again, until she finally realized what was wrong. While the rest of the sentence was grammatically perfect, it was missing an important element of punctuation - a comma. [Tori] a comma is used when you need to take a breath during a peice a writing but if life was a story there would have to be a comma everytime i see this one girl she leaves me breathless, her smile and personailty make me smile even when i dont know it :) [David] I use commas way more than I should. I use commas almost as much as I use periods. I like to have as few sentences as possible. I'll try not to use a comma write now. It's really hard. My sentences seem too choppy. Maybe that's why I like commas. They help the body flow. [Brit] Comma comma comma. So many commas. Why do we have commas? No body knows. Or cares. I haven't used a single comma in this paragraph. They are useful. But they are annoying in english class when you have to figure out where to put them. [Keechie] The comma is a nice punctuation. What I absolutely cannot stand, however, is ellipsis abuse. It always makes me feel as if the person I am talking to is hesitant with a pause...did I say something wrong? There, I used it. But anyway, commas are nice, innocent little tadpoles that swim around, separating things that shouldn't be together. Well played, comma. [ac] pause, don't think, just pause, just, ehh hang off the edge, or lean for,ward and, see if your footing stepping heel finds a period, but not yet, until double m's the end. [jared] In life, there are many stops. There are turns, twists, spins, ups and downs. But, sometimes, you have to wonder when does the sentence finish? When do you have a rest?. In the parentesis, or in the question sign? Believe it or not, it's in a comma the solution you need. A short rest, insignificant but necessary, is everything you need to look at your life again, and wonder why things are like this. Be it good or bad, there's always room for improvement, don't you think? So, all you need is that. A comma. [] a pause... marking a break somewhere...in a sentence, perhaps in life as well. sounds soft- is it because of the calm it brings? signifying the coming end somewhere? [saurav] comma. often forgotten but usually important. completely absent from this little segment. [] pause. wait a second. what's the next clause? before you begin, let me just say....what if there were another way? break. break fast. breakfast, lunch, and dinner. [Amanda] quite entertaining when someone puts a coma between sentances instead of a comma, never made sence to me.. just like lets go axe the teacher for the answer, no i would prefer not to get blood all over this new t shirt, thanks for the invite though [Phillip Smith] again, i just did comma...from reading the other entries, a comma is like a smudge, almost an insignificant punctuation. its just like...there. it doesn't have the strength of a period, nor a semi colon, but can also act as a colon. [xoxoChicaFriend] A comma is used in grammar to bring together two sentence fragments, making a full sentence. The two sentence fragments would not make sense as two sentences, but not as a run on sentence either. Putting in a comma helps the sentence make sense. [xoxoChicaFriend] poor little comma [Harry] comma comma comma comma comma comma comma , , , , , , , , , , , , ,,,,,,,,,,, , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Fuck yes. [Ree] not my favorite punctuation, its not final enough for me. lacks the perfect circle stop of a period, more of a smeared symbol, leaving room for clarifications and exceptions and excuses. [simone] used to break up sentences. [aine] comma. Grammar. Gah, when i text the commas never come out right because i have a full keyboard. And it ends up typing out a letter that i didn't want anyways. When were commas created? who invented them? Gah, why did they do it? I blame them for my pain. [Brooke] Commas are awesome, they make me feel smart. I would make babies with a comma if I could. Mmmm... commas. [Suzy] The most played song on my ITunes is "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend. I had no idea what an Oxford Comma was until I actually looked it up after seeing the title of the song. [Ben Gwynne] a comma is really great it seperates words and it makes writing a lot easier.sometimes i dont know how to write with a comma because i dont know all the usage of the comma but since sinior year i have been improving! yay me but now the time is running out and i have not used a comma not even once in this writing. [milka] I glared at the blinking computer screen, trying to put what I wanted to say in words. A question here, a comma there. I just couldn't focus. I couldn't concentrate. [Urgh.] comma uhhhhhh. . . i do not know what to write [zoe] comma uhhhhhh. . . i do not know what to write [a] A comma is like that breath you take in the middle of a long sentece.

[Dazia] Then you put this little doo-dad in there and it's where you have to stop to take a breath but you don't really stop at all because it's not exactly the end of the sentence or your thought- it's the stopping place in the middle of a run-on conversation. [Erin] a new world is possible, felas. thais its... just it. whithout secrifice, we have nothing. [Pedro Ivo Fireire Vieira] i live for deep discussions about comma splices. first-aid kits and the ability to just fix it. the endless connecting upon connecting upon connecting. you keep adding things up and the listing never seems to stop. [nicole] carma chameleon bippy my veiled chameleon who looked so sullen in his tree and one day died and I found him dead on the kitchen floor and I still had all these icky live meal worms in my fridge that he never ate. I miss you my little bippy, and your sticky tounge and beady eyes [DirtyGirl22] i love commas cause they are so misused, so i like to use them correctly. i thought it was coma at first i guess the word comma isnt one you see very often [Callie] "Why did you put so many commas in this thing?" I asked my student. "Oh. I thought that it was better to have more commas. Doesn't that show the reader how good you are at punctuation?" he replied. "No, Steve. No." I sighed.

Its like i have one giant comma placed in my life. Something to just stop stop me from everything.

I go to my first class, what a surprise, I've been here a week and I don't know anyone. [Kaitlyn] the worst thing ever!! how can it be that a person is dead alive??? its crazy!!! [carla] And then there it was. A comman in the middle of the sentence. My sentence, the sentence I created but put no such comman in that sentence. Can there be any more wrong in this world than allowing things to be held where they are not meant?

Why is there even a national punctuation day? Shall we all talk with heightened or exaggerated punctuation today? How exactly is this day celebrated? Though I must say, commas are very useful to communicated a short pause. [Esh] space [] The commma. Such a useful and appropriate object. Always there to form my dramatic pauses granting me all I need in my writing. Without it I feel my pieces speed along far to quickly with no time for thinking or gathering of ones emotion.
