  1. I really enjoy grammar. I like knowing proper punctuation. I like understanding the semi-colon, colon, comma, and serial comma…

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  8. jane was asking me what that punctuation was – are you sure it’s a comma mom?

  9. 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.

  14. 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.

  17. A weird… logical, but illogical way to puctuate and seperate ideas. Abstract.

    Kimberly
  18. 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.

  22. 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.

  27. 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

  32. 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.

  33. a pause, a rest, a beat. unfinished.

    EcoMeg
  34. 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
  35. 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
  36. 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.

  39. 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!

  40. 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.
    the litigator of sentence structure it deserves to be heard, but is forever silent
