Yes, you have been.

But hey, at least you've gotten a free grammar lesson out of it, eh? :coffee:

by fatman123 Tue 18 Nov - 2:11:52

Oh Shed

You just stick to doing match day threads yeah?

by Shed Tue 18 Nov - 2:14:29

Doing one right now, thank you :coffee:

No reason I can't multitask between making the best match threads you're likely to find and giving a wee English lesson to an underprivileged Australian pupil free of charge, though :coffee:

I'm studying for my final exam (it's in two hours) whilst taking you to school Laughing

You've taken me 'to school' on nothing, dear child :coffee:

Thanks for the feedback, I'll be sure to dumb things down for you next time

So much for "dumbing things down" more. #RockBottom

Besides, commas are subjective.

Commas within sentences are subjective, and permitted. What aren't are ones used to join two independent clauses/complete sentences together without the addition of a coordinating conjunction, as you did. #TryAgain

Once again, correct. But your comma wasn't inside of a sentence. It was between two, with no conjunction joining them - making it non-grammatical.

Indeed. Think I'll invite the lad over to my place for a meal next week for Thanksgiving, the day we Muricans commemorate the feast held by the first settlers on the land that would one day become Murica. He'll fit right in.
