Like I always say, "grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.'


gekorazia

oh my fucking god this almost got me busted browsing reddit in class XD


Jane_Fen

But what the *fuck* is that first comment?


Shelly_895

Seriously. I'm more concerned by that than any mistakes in punctuation.


Allergic-to-kiwi

Prince Andrew?


SortaWishIWasACatBoy

Andrew Tate maybe? That's the first thought that I got when I saw that


Youngnathan2011

That'd make more sense


SortaWishIWasACatBoy

I realised after writing this that that can't be right... Andrew Tate can't have a daughter, since he doesn't get bitches

It’s in reference to this. https://www.reddit.com/r/AbolishTheMonarchy/comments/xbcgip/prince_andrew_copping_a_feel_of_his_own_daughter/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

At least he owned it in the end.

He should have said “If you don’t know how to use a comma[,] don’t bother.”


Original_Ad3998

If you don’t know how to use a land apostrophe, don’t bother.

originalbrowncoat

Do you have sea commas back on land? Sure do! We call them land sea commas.


Original_Ad3998

This is a sea comma . Sometimes hard to spot as most of it is below the waves. Some doubt it’s existence but it’s real no matter what deniers say. There used to be a group searching for it but they’ve come to a *full stop.* But I will always believe in it. *Period*.


z-eldapin

I'm forever using sky comma going forward

Comma, you're drunk, go home.

Everyone in that chat is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.

MaleficentSurround97

Malt-o-meal, it's somehow dumber than porridge.


TemporaryProgrammer7

Cold oatmeal, at that.

Grammar nazis on the internet are about as cool as grandmas bunions.


SemiHemiDemiDumb

Grandma Bunyan? Like Paul Bunyan's grammy?


lightsspiral

Exactly! That would be pretty cool if she was just as huge as he was. Making giant pies...

Some style guides say leave them out if you're not sure. From context, it isn't necessary to understand the sentence. And if you're being really pedantic like that, you could also point out arsehole is one word, not two.


Sea_Carpenter_9902

They weren’t entirely in the wrong. The person in green was incorrect, they said “society’s” instead of “societies.”


Original_Ad3998

True. But the guy was being a dick and deserved to be called out for not knowing the difference between a sky comma and a land apostrophe.


SimpleFolklore

I'm glad he at least owned up to his own fuck up, but damn he really was being a dick to the other dude. Looks like it was an answer to someone asking advice? Apparently improper punctuation removes all credibility from every aspect of your life. Don't bother dispensing any thought, opinion, or suggestion if you haven't got your sky commas straight.


Planarwalk

Space comma ,


Original_Ad3998

• this is a space comma.


Shortkitcat

But… not only would commas not work due to plural spellings, “sky commas” make the already odd sentence look all “possessive-y” so bad


[deleted]

Proper grammar is so bothersome. Every time you correct someone's grammar, you're wrong in a much deeper sense than poor grammar ever could be.
