Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Use and non-use of commas, etc. (was Covid protocols)

[David Heimann (heimann]

Hello Ann and others,

	Yes, I'd like to open up a discussion about the non-uses of 
commas which confuse and change the meaning of sentences.

	Actually, I meant to say "Yes, I'd like to open up a discussion 
about the non-uses of commas, which confuse and changes the meaning of 
sentences."

Interestingly,
David

Melanie and all -

Now, would you like to open up a discussion on the non-use of commas and 
apostrophes? As a card carrying member of the Apostrophe Protection 
Society I am most unhappy about people omitting apostrophes.  I rue the 
day other grammatical devices, trying desperately to stave off confusion 
in the written word, have been bludgeoned to death via texts, email 
(tho? not so much), etc. (

I wonder what Shakespeare?s experience was as he added 1,700 words to 
the English vocabulary?

?Zounds!
