  1. punctuation is great, especially when used correctly. wow i’m a nerd. the pause that a comma gives is necessary for communication to be clear. I can’t imagine having a system of writing without a comma. It would just get confusing. Try reading Requiem for a Dream…

  8. At first I thought it said coma – Freudian slip of the mind? Comma, hmm, comma, what to write? I’m quite fond of the comma. The semi-colon’s quite good too. Love the colon, but only when making lists – can’t use it properly in normal sentences. But then what’s normal?

  11. The separator of thoughts, creator of pauses. The comma is something that creates fear in the heart of high school students everywhere! It may be hard to use, but the comma is actually your friend. It makes reading more fluid, and allows you to make sentences that aren’t at a 4th grade level.

  12. I don’t want to write about this. A comma is used quite often in writing, or so I’d hope. I suppose most people neglect to use it as they’ve not passed basic English and writing classes! Well, maybe they have, but most people just neglect the poor thing.

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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

  18. “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. I was used to being a gifted teacher, and coping with stupidity was just not one of my strong suits.

  19. The text read “comma”, “he is in a comma”. But I knew he wasn’t stuck in a piece of punctuation, but was in hospital on a life support machine. God. How can I think about joking at a time like this?

  20. one comma was all that separated their names, but there was so much more separating them in life. Suruthi stared at her sister’s name and thought wistfully of the barrier between them.

  22. How fortuitous that I’d checked his homework! For, having mastered the use of the comma, Ben had decided against using any other form of punctuation. Thus, his sentences glided seamlessly from one to the next unlittered with capital leters or fullstops

  23. Could this situation be any worse. Its like i have one giant comma placed in my life. Something to just stop stop me from everything. How could this happen to me, the person who never wanted anything like this and did everything to stop it?

  24. I’m a college student, it’s my freshman year. I’m studying to be an english mayjor. I go to my first class, what a surprise, I’ve been here a week and I don’t know anyone.
    Same shit as high school, I guess.
    I got a ‘B+’ on my first essay, I added to many commas. Typical.
    I wonder how the rest of this semester is going to end up.

  26. 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?

  27. yesterday we wanted to see what happened to give us a sense of mortality. it was a comma of friendship. a pause of looking at things without understand that life isnt about leaving faith, but about enjoying the moments or commas that stop life in moments.

  30. Comma reminds me that today is national punctuation day. 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.

  31. 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. Who would have thought a period with a tail could prove to be as useful.

    Dallas!?
  32. It’s a way to seperate words. Not like new sentence

    Carro
  33. Seperating like a sea divides two land masses, a pause a thought an intake of breath. Sonething that we can believe in but isn;t something yha

  36. 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

  37. comma is a pause it gives the pause to a sentence. Inmedical term it is in state of numbness. Comma gives meaning to your sentence, you can segregate multiple things in groups , you can use comma in dialogue writing to depict pause. comma can be of two types. inverted comma, single comma. COmma rules can be read in punctualtion.

  39. 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,
