It’s a bold move, cotton…
I, for one, can’t wait to see where it goes. Great share, thanks
Well, it’ll go… DaMonster, don’t plan too much. It may not come out riiight.
Oh shit we doin Room memes now?
If you’re faking me out on this, I break every bone in your body.
That son of a bitch told me that I would get it within one day. I gave them upvotes. They’re crazy. I don’t think I will ever get it. They betray me, they didn’t keep their promise, they trick me, and I don’t care anymore.
Hahahaha. What a story, Mark!
Oh fuck…
So anyway, how’s your sex life?
What’s The Room? Will this journey inform me?
Well I got the results of the test back
Oh no
What have you done?
Why is there a comma?
That’s a correct use of a comma. You often use commas when using a persons name. Isn’t that right, Grandwolf?
“Mom, have you seen my keys?”
“I’m off to the store, Sarah.”
“My best bud, Zach, is a geologist.”
But that’s when you make a statement then draw attention to the person. Like:
“Don’t you see, Depress_mode”
So having the comma there makes it sound like he isn’t saying hi to someone, he is saying hi, then focusing attention on them.
Idk, I always thought greetings meant no comma cause the name is the subject and not a follow up point.
“Hi” here is what’s called an interjection. Sort of like if you were trying to suddenly stop your friend George from doing something and you said “No, George!”, “no” would be the interjection. In the same way you would say “No, George!” instead of “No George!” (which reads like you’re protesting the existence of George), you would be technically correct in saying “Hi, George!” However, nobody would seriously care outside a grammar class if you said “Hi George!”
Thanks TIL
The basic rule is that if you can drop the name and the sentence still makes sense, use a comma. It still applies to greetings, since a greeting is still a greeting whether or not you use a person’s name while doing so.
You wouldn’t use a comma if you said something like “Jack went to work.”
Grandwolf, you always play grammarian with us!
