  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. Commas are useful and necessary. Use them.

  5. 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.

  8. 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.

  11. 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

  12. Sitting in class
    staring at a notebook:
    blank,
    words,
    cross outs.
    he’s on my mind and
    the words he said last night..
    i know what a fucking comma is and
    i know how to use it.
    i wish the professor would stop teaching
    and i could just run through
    his cautious and vulnerable words in my head.

  13. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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
  19. 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)

  23. 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.

  28. 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.

  29. ,

    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.

  30. 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,…

  31. 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.

  32. 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.

  33. 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.

  34. 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.
